Congratulations to the winner of the Lawson’s Dry Hills People's Choice Award 2019 is once again  artist Lisa Grennell with her winning acrylic screen print & reverse hand painting on perspex  work

'Inside Out'

What happens when the innocence of the past no longer provides the same comfort today?

Depicted in this artwork is a young girl gazing through a rain weathered window. Her stare is penetrating yet welcoming. She is encapsulated within the confines of the ‘glass’ protected from the violence of today and the uncertainties of tomorrow.

Our view of her is blurred by droplets of water, much like tears. With her gaze returned those tears are shared.

As the light travels around the artwork the enormity of her environment is apparent, its universal. Shes not alone.

While her heart is washed away with the rain we are left with a glimmer of hope.

A smile
