A sincere congratulations to Meg Walters who has been announced as a finalist in the Hawkesbury Art Prize 2025.
The Hawkesbury Art Prize is a biennial prize awarded to an Australian artist for a painting, drawing or work on paper with the theme of Contemporary Australian Identity.
Open to Australian artists, the prize is awarded for the most outstanding work created in the past 12 months. The theme invites artists to respond to the concept of contemporary identity in Australian life. The prize excludes photography, textiles, embroidery, and sculpture. The art prize is judged by a panel made up of three notable figures in the Australian art world. The Hawkesbury Art Prize is a significant Australian award.
"While intentionally humble, this painting aims to identify and celebrate the beauty in the mundane. It’s a philosophical and spiritual lamentation of seasons, cycles, birth, death and renewal. Offering a glimpse through the tangled branches and trees into a place of stillness, the viewer can revel in the meditative state one often experiences in nature. We’re reminded of the chaos of the outer world, yet within lies a state of calm and steadiness."
Recognised Artwork - Meg Walters, ‘I carry the weight of one thousand seasons’, Oil, Oil Pastel, Oil Stick, Wax on Linen, 70 x 110 cm
