Laura Phillips was judged First Prize winner - the judge, Elizabeth Duguid, had the following to say about Laura's work, Dance of the Birds: Quote (from the Australian Artist magazine) " After walking around and examining all the other works, I was drawn back to Laura Phillip's Dance of the Birds. It's positive marks combined with the sensitive quality of colour and line, made it a winner for me". Congratulations, Laura! |
