I am delighted that my 2 entries to the Kumeu Art Awards 2021, I Was and I Am and Turning Within, were both selected as finalists in this annual competition and will be exhibited at Kumeu Arts Gallery in November. This is a national award with monetary prizes and vouchers up to the value of $1,000, awarded at a prestigious awards ceremony.

Due to Covid restrictions, the Kumeu Art Awards and Exhibition is now an online event. The awards ceremony will take place via Zoom at 6pm on 12 November.
