Just to let you know of the Silkcut Linocut Prize just announced in Melbourne last week.
Over 40 linocut artists represented - a wonderful display of extraordinary
printmaking.
Rona Green was selected as the winner with her indiosyncratic tattooed dog
"Dally-boy".
Other wonderful works by John Ryrie, Jodie Heffernan, Annette Cook, Brigid
Hillebrand, Clare Humphries, Annabel Webb - to put names to a handful of the exceptional artists represented.
This is a biennial art prize and can be seen at the Glen Eira Gallery,
Melbourne until 3 September 2006.

We are fortunate to have such a prize specifically for linocut printmakers -
the diversity and scale of the work displayed is breath-taking.
