Claire's dry point etching from her recent "From little things big things grow" exhibition was hung quietly just at the right hand entrance to the gallery, with some other graphic pieces. Claire selected the work that got a special mention in the Canberra Times review of the exhibition for this year's Queanbeyan City Council Art Award.
And the winner of the Highly Commended Award was........our Claire.
First prize went to a sensitively painted treescape that you can just glimpse above Claire's head in the first photograph.
We enjoyed meeting up with our favourite gallery director, Georgina, the judge Mel and the ceramicist Debra Boyd-Goggin and her partner Chris. Both Debra and Chris had work in the exhibition. I don't know how Mel was able to effectively judge such a diverse group of art works!
Although we certainly think she got something right in recognising Claire's incredibly original, sensuous, lively and authentic work.
