Hello ! I hope this email finds you all well Welcome to Newsletter No. 10 !! These last few years I believe have been very productive and fruitful on numerable art fronts including exhibiting, gallery direction, shortlisted art prizes and awards and some unexpected initiatives. I have been very fortunate during this time to have had the opportunity to explore other genres; sculpture and photography, and both appear to be revealing exciting pathways that are complementing my painting ….it is very exciting, new journeys ! Below are some of the highlights that bring focus areas together and also future events that I hope will be of interest and that you may like to attend. All the very best Rebecca AAF SINGAPORE You can find me at this year's Affordable Art Fair in Singapore 22 - 24 November 2019 at Stand 2A-05. I am so excited to once again have my works on exhibit over the course of this art filled weekend and I welcome you all to attend and share the invitation to visit me at Stand 2A-05 this November! AAF Singapore, F1 Pitt building at 1 Republic Blvd, Singapore 038975 22 - 24 Novemeber 2019 at Stand 2A-05 NORTHBRIDGE ART PRIZE I am honoured to have my sculpture 'Eau De Rubbish' receive First Prize for the Sculpture section and the overall Northbridge Art Prize for 2019.

THE LESTER PRIZE 'Lang Ink Becomes You' is a mixed media on canvas work and a finalist in the The Lester Prize 2019. This work captures my youngest son Lang focusing on his tattoos with an onus on floral imagery. Whether in jest or not he has suggested my own ongoing fascination with flowers has manifested itself in his process of selecting body adornment. Tattoos have become an ongoing conversation in our household, not just of the personal nature but the general public perception of what may be deemed ‘different’ or to some indecipherable making it foreign. The interpretation of his physical appearance by some does not always fall in line with his true gentle and accommodating nature. This duality and conclusions drawn I find both confusing and sometimes unsettling. I would like to invite you to the opening night of The Lester Prize at the Art Gallery of Western Australia on the 8th of November. I will also be hosting an Artist Workshop titled 'Stippling like Crazy' on the 9th of November from 10am for approximately 2 hours at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.

THE LESTER PRIZE
'Lang Ink Becomes You' is a mixed media on canvas work and a finalist in the The Lester Prize 2019.
This work captures my youngest son Lang focusing on his tattoos with an onus on floral imagery. Whether
in jest or not he has suggested my own ongoing fascination with flowers has manifested itself in his
process of selecting body adornment. Tattoos have become an ongoing conversation in our household,
not just of the personal nature but the general public perception of what may be deemed ‘different’ or to
some indecipherable making it foreign. The interpretation of his physical appearance by some does not
always fall in line with his true gentle and accommodating nature. This duality and conclusions drawn I
find both confusing and sometimes unsettling.
I would like to invite you to the opening night of The Lester Prize at the Art Gallery of Western Australia on
the 8th of November. I will also be hosting an Artist Workshop titled 'Stippling like Crazy' on the 9th of
November from 10am for approximately 2 hours at the Art Gallery of Western Australia.
The Lester Prize was formerly known as The Black Swan Prize for Portraiture, one of the country’s richest
