Latest News – bentArt Prize 2026 – Winner – Curatorial Award

bentArt has been celebrating LGBTQIA+ visual art since 2005. Originally founded by three Blue Mountains women, bentART has evolved into one of Australia’s largest LGBTQIA+ visual arts events, supporting both emerging and professional artists from across the country.

I was honoured to have my work Self Portrait 2019 (2025) selected as part of the exhibition. To my surprize, the work won the Curatorial Prize. Thank you bentArt and Nick Strathopoulos for choosing my work for this prize.

Acknowledgement of Country

“Acknowledging Country is an opportunity to reflect on the continuing and unbroken sovereignty of First Nations. It should not merely be a symbolic act of recognition but rather is an invitation to reflect on colonialism as an ongoing process of violent dispossession that makes and remakes itself in actions large and small.  It is also an invitation to reflect on our own relationship to place: how we ended up where we are today, how we are implicated in histories of dispossession or resistance, what our relationship is to past, present, and future. To do this, as a settler living on stolen land, requires an embrace of knowledge, culture and tradition that remains unknowable” (Brooks, A. 2022).  

I acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which I make art, the Darug and Darkinjung people of the Dharug nation and pay respect to the Traditional Custodians and Elders of this nation, past, present and future. I acknowledge the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 

I do not speak for Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander people. Through various artworks, I have aimed to amplify voices and concerns relevant to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
