Once again we will have 2 very experienced and diversely talented artists as our judges for this exhibition:

Andrea  Wilson spent 3 decades of her life as  an architect.  After doing art courses at National Art School and Julian Ashton Art School she  made the switch to painting full time.  She is currently a Finalist in the 2026  Archibald Prize Exhibition at AGNSW.

John  Rice is an energetic outdoor painter  who works almost exclusively in oils and is stimulated by the strong light of  the Australian landscape.  He has won  many awards for his artworks and has held nineteen very successful solo  exhibitions and numerous joint exhibitions.
