I'm honoured that my artwork Leaving the Peninsula has been selected as the featured image for this year's Frankston Art Show social media campaign. Thank you to Frankston Arts for purchasing the work to represent this year's exhibition, No Place Like Home.
This year I am exhibiting my large-format linocut The Spirit of Frankston, printed on Magnani Pescia 300gsm archival paper and hand-painted with archival inks.
Launched in 2026, this work has already received two awards:
🏆 Best Other Medium – Blairgowrie Yacht Club Art Exhibition
🏆 Best Modern – Derinya Art & Craft Exhibition
The edition is proving very popular, and the only available copy currently on display is the one hanging in the Frankston Art Show. Several collectors have already expressed interest, and producing another edition takes time due to the hand-printing process.
If you would like to purchase this limited-edition linocut, please contact Frankston Arts Centre / Cube 37 on (03) 9784 1060, or come along to the opening night on Friday 31 July at 6.00 pm.
I'll be there supporting my students—past and present—who are exhibiting this year. You can expect to see some outstanding linocut printmaking, particularly from the talented artists of Peninsula Printmakers.
Come and meet the artists, celebrate local creativity, and perhaps take home this award-winning piece.
See you there!
