This is the richest natural history prize in Australia, encompassing sections dedicated to works on paper, sculpture, painting, and since 2009, the youth art prize, in which Tess is a finalist.
Her framed linocut print, Protea: New and Spent Bud, was recently hung in the galleries Octagon Artspace as part of the "NEW" - 5 artists new to the Gallery exhibition (see Past Exhibitions). It’s encouraging to see the progression Tess has made in recent years after attaining her Bachelor of Teaching and Bachelor of Fine arts at the University of Newcastle (2008), to contributing to the Bungendore team by assisting in the curatorial aspects of exhibitions and fine art related inquiries. The exhibition winners will be announced on July 16. We wish Tess every success.
