I’m excited to announce that my painting Sea Dogs has been selected as a finalist in the $20,000 ANL MARITIME ART PRIZE! Recognised as Australia’s leading maritime art award highlighting excellence in maritime and seafaring subjects in art. The exhibition represents traditional and contemporary works focusing on the relationship between humanity and the sea and assists in raising the profile of the 1.5 million merchant seafarers responsible for transporting more than 90% of world trade. For their safe and efficient operations, ships depend on seafarers working far from home and family for many months, sometimes years, often in harsh and dangerous conditions. The winner will be announced at the opening on 4 October. (My painting sold on opening night!)
