P is for prize

If I recall correctly, the last prize I won was Saturday Disney's Letter Of The Week back in December 2001 so you can probably imagine I was extrememly chuffed to find out last week i had won the $1500 Young SA Artist Award as part of the 2009 Whyalla Art Prize. rad!

Huge thankyou to Country Arts SA, it's great to see support out for young artists. I'm getting excited just thinking about being able to buy some new sexy art supplies. super rad!

If you're around or passing through Whyalla check out the exhibition:
