FINALIST 2018 Percival Portrait Painting Prize

The biennial Percival Portrait Painting Prize is North Queensland’s own portrait competition and is held at Perc Tucker Regional Gallery. Having begun in 2007, The Percivals is an open competition for artists. While showcasing the work currently being produced by Australian artists, the competition has also given many emerging artists an opportunity to engage with portraiture and share their expressions of themselves and those close to them. The current major acquisitive prize is $40,000. Sally is very pleased to announce that her painting “Self Portrait (30.8.17)” has been selected as a FINALIST in the 2018 Prize.

“All Sorts” Solo Exhibition

“All Sorts” is an exhibition of recent oil paintings and ink drawings, showcasing the subjects I am drawn to and outlining my working practice from the past 12 months. As I am predominantly a plein air painter many of the works are of landscapes painted on site around Sydney harbour and beaches. When the weather isn’t favourable I work in the studio often on still life. Therefore, there is also a wide selection of floral works in the show, often of flowers that I have picked or collected on my way to the studio.
Exhibition Opens: 2pm-4pm, Saturday 24 February 2018. Exhibition Closes: 11 March 2018. Location: Fellia Melas Gallery, 2 Moncur Street, Woollahra NSW 2025. Website: www.fmelasgallery.com.au. Contact: 02 9363 5616. Email: art@fmelasgalley.com.au
