Archibald Prize 2019, Salon des Refuses Finalist

Finalist in the Archibald Prize 2019 Salon des Refuses with a self portrait The Dog Walker 2019, 40x20cm, oil on board. This little work is both a self portrait and a still life. I have painted myself as an ornament, performing a routine task that is one of the many rituals of domestic life. I am drawn to ornaments and how they symbolise and celebrate the everyday usually in a domestic setting.
