Polly Wells - Winner of Open Prize, EJ Mantova Memorial Art Prize

Congratulations to  Polly Wells on winning the Open prize in the EJ Mantova Memorial Art Prize with her painting – ‘Gum Blossom and Kangaroo Paws’

Cath Fogerty, formerly Senior Curator of the Coffs Harbour Regional Gallery, judged the prize said of the painting:

The artist has the power of depicting the details of an object with refined accuracy and sensitivity to surface; both the paint’s surface and the object’s surface.

There is a deep knowledge of colour theory.
