First Time Finalist Award at NPPP

I’m grateful to share that my work has been awarded First Time Finalist Award in the 2025 National Photographic Portrait Prize.

This portrait, Mother Dreams on a Stone, honours my mum’s story - capturing her resting under a gold emergency blanket with her head against a tumbled stone. The work reflects on memory, migration, and resilience, and I’m glad it has found resonance with others.

The exhibition of finalists is now open at the National Portrait Gallery, and I’m proud to be included alongside so many strong photographers.

STILL: National Still Life Award

STILL: National Still Life Award is Yarrila Arts and Museum’s national biennial acquisitive art award. STILL aims to recognise excellence, diversity and innovation in contemporary still life practice while broadening the interpretation of this enduring genre.

I’m delighted that my work Stress Head has been selected as a finalist this year’s STILL: National Still Life Award.

I’m grateful to be included among such a strong field of artists and look forward to seeing the exhibition come together.

STILL runs 6 September to 9 November, YAM Coffs Harbour, NSW.
