I’m pleased to share that my work Ripple (oil, linen and adhesive on artist board, framed in Australian hardwood, 84 × 59 cm) was acquired by Leeuwin Estate Winery, Margaret River, Western Australia, following its presentation at Sydney Contemporary Art Fair 2024 with Five Walls Gallery.

As part of this acquisition, the work was selected for Leeuwin Estate’s Art Series wine label, placing it within a longstanding program that has featured leading Australian artists such as Sidney Nolan, John Olsen, Robert Juniper, Fred Williams, Imants Tillers, and First Nations artist Minnie Pwerle.

Ripple has also been incorporated into the Leeuwin Estate Art Collection and will be exhibited within the Leeuwin Estate Art Gallery alongside works from its significant collection of Australian contemporary art.
