A huge thank you, to everyone who took the time to visit my exhibition and for attending the Official Opening, Artist Guided Tour and Artist Conversations in the Gallery - I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity in sharing insights into my process, especially on how the Awards Trophy was created.
Attending the Awards (Sunshine Coast Australia Day) Ceremony, and hearing the amazing stories told by the awe inspiring peeps made me feel very privileged to have created this years awards trophy, and I am very humbled by the lovely feedback I've received from the recipients in appreciation of receiving their trophy - also a big shout of thanks goes to the Sunshine Coast Regional Council for providing local artists with this opportunity.
Pictured above, the actual Awards Trophy - an original photograph was converted into a vector file to create the design.
Further links to the Awards can be viewed via Sunshine Coast Daily's website - Awards ceremony video; Citizen of the Year, Senior Citizen, Sports Person of the Year, Young Citizens, additional Recipients (including, Creative, Community - Group or Organisation, and Environment).
I'll bet all the recipients were delighted to receive such wonderful pieces. I love the new idea of giving art as trophies. They can be kept in the family for generations.
