Exciting news to kick off 2014...I am delighted to announce that I am the winner of the Best Australian Relief Bookplate in the Australian Bookplate Design Award 2013. The award celebrates the art of bookplates (decorative labels, often on the inside front covers of books, to indicate the owner or from whose library the book came). Bookplates are fairly small and usually have images relating to or symbolizing the owner. My bookplate contains the words Ex Libris (Latin for "from the library of") and my name. I have also included an image of Adelaide, a city which often features in my artwork.
An exhibition will be held later this year of selected entries in Victoria. At this stage I am unsure of the exact details, but will keep you posted!
