One question keeps coming up: what’s next?
I’m delighted to share that my work has been selected as a finalist in the Hunters Hill Art Prize 2026. It’s an honour to be part of this exhibition alongside a strong group of selected artists, all coming together in the beautiful Hunters Hill Town Hall.
The work I’ve entered, Soft Country — Eucalyptus Socialis, continues my exploration of Australian native trees — their presence, individuality, and the subtle complexity of their colour and form.

Colours of Freedom was a group exhibition by True Blue & a Little Bit of Yellow, created to honour Ukrainian Independence Day on 24 August. The exhibition brought together Ukrainian artists living in Australia around a simple but powerful challenge: to create works using only two colours — blue and yellow. Within this limitation, each artist found their own voice. The palette became a shared language, symbolising freedom, hope, and the ongoing journey of Ukraine’s independence. Despite the restraint, the exhibition was rich in emotion, interpretation, and strength, reflecting resilience through colour alone. The exhibition was generously supported by the Balmain Association and the Ukrainian Council of NSW, and was presented across two locations: Balmain Watch House Gallery from 11–13 August 2023, and Woollahra Redleaf Gallery from 23–25 August 2023. Colours of Freedom stood as a reminder that even with the simplest means, art can speak clearly, carry meaning, and bring people together in solidarity.
True Blue & a Little Bit of Yellow, in collaboration with CBD Gallery, presented a fundraising exhibition in the heart of Sydney titled A Love Letter to the Ocean. Created by five artists of Ukrainian heritage, the exhibition was dedicated to the water element and to a shared love of the ocean. Working across different styles and mediums — from ancient techniques and classicism to impressionism, divisionism, and fine art photography — the artists invited viewers to dive into blue, touched gently with yellow. We extend our sincere gratitude to Xiaoxiao Zhang for her invaluable support in providing CBD Gallery as the venue for this fundraiser, and for her continued support of Ukraine. The exhibition was held at CBD Gallery, Sydney, from 6–19 October 2023
