BLAIRGOWRIE EASTER ART SHOW 2026

​At the 2026 Blairgowrie Easter Art Show, the Best Other Medium award was presented to Billy Nye for her striking linocut titled "The Spirit of Frankston." The category was adjudicated by Adam Knight, the Director of the Mitchelton Gallery of Aboriginal Art, who selected the piece for its exceptional technical execution and "impeccable quality." In his address, Knight highlighted how the work successfully captured the "simplicity of the suburban streetscape," a sentiment echoed by the artist herself, who described the large-scale print as a "huge endeavour" and a true "labour of love." The judge's choice underscored a mastery of printmaking within a diverse field of mixed media, noting that the piece stood out for its unique perspective and refined detail.
