2025 Winning Artworks

Peabody Wilpinjong Prize for Hanging Art - Michelle Steven, Mudgee - Poker Face

Judge - Natasha Lunnis.
“Tonality created with such a limited palette showcases a mastery over their craft. The subtle textures of the leaves and vase soften the dark tone of the work in a nice balance. There is an element of photographic realism to the work that leaves the viewer questioning if this is a photo or a painting, making the work feel life like. It is not a dominating or overpowering work, its overall subtlety, presence and technique is a testament to the artist. “

Hanging Art Highly Commended: Justine Parkins, Tallawang – Grace Justine Parkins, Tallawang – Grace

Judge – Natasha Lunnis.
“Portraits are difficult subjects for their reliance on physical accuracy and their need to convey some different element of the character and soul of the person. Yet this work has done both with a skill that makes it look easeful. The well blended shift in tonality captures all of the small details and features that makes “Grace” grace, leaving the viewer longing to know more about this person.”

Hanging Art Highly Commended: Merelyn Masters, Orange – Zebra

Judge – Natasha Lunnis.
“Coloured pencils is a medium which can often soften a work or get lost within its background, and yet this work manages to stand out and be a strong image that calls to a viewer’s eye. The rendered texture in the animal’s ear, the delicate eyelashes and the subtle shift in light within the eye suggests that the zebra is a living creature upon the paper and gives it a photographic quality. The artists use of negative space is striking and creates an emotive aspect to this powerful work.”

Hanging Art Highly Commended: Catherine Jones, Dubbo – If Only For A Moment

Judge – Natasha Lunnis.
“On first glance it is easy to be overwhelmed by the vibrancy of the colour pallete used, but as you find yourself being further drawing into it, it transforms into a contemplative landscape that invites you as the same suggests to settle for a moment. The impressionist techniques used by the artist creates layers of depth and texture. Whilst the artist has towed the line of overcrowding the work, it works – creating the opposite feeling and inviting the viewer to look deeper into its depths allowing them to see new details each time they look within it.”
