What made you decide to enter the Stanthorpe Art Prize in 2018?

I had decided to enter in 2018 as I had entered for the first time in 2016 and was encouraged with the response and coverage that the art prize draws. So decided to enter new work that I thought might showcase my particular skill of glass cold working.

Has winning a prize in the 2018 Stanthorpe Art Prize changed anything in your art life?

I’ve started to think more conceptually about my practice and pieces

Did you gain any exposure from being a winner?

I took part in another exhibition in Stanthorpe along with Aaron Micallef and Renata Buziak.
