Emma Wins Thirroul Art Prize with Horse Portrait

 
Emma and her Winning Painting
The Thirroul Seaside and Arts Festival held last week was highlighted by three major Art events

- Art Prize & Exhibition at the Thirroul Community Centre
- Photography Exhibition at the Thirroul Surf Club.
- Sculpture on the Shore on Thirroul Beach and Promenade

The exciting news is that our daughter Emma took out first prize for “Artists Under 25” with her painting of an eye of a horse. She was presented with her prize by the Lord Mayor of Wollongong, who is an old work colleague of mine in our previous occupations. However, I don’t think he would have worked out the connection.

You can see more of her art work on her website, Emma Llewelyn; Portrait and Fine Artist  at  www.emmallewelynart.com/. You can see examples of her art works on the website in these categories:-
            ·  Graphite Portraits

            ·  Equine Art
            ·  Graphite Wildlife Art
            ·  Still Life

You can commission her to do an art work just for you. Her art works make great presents, but get your order in early for Mothers Day, Fathers Day and Christmas presents. For details of her commission art work pricing see ·  Pricing

By the way, this and all other articles on this website are actual, except the one article that appeared on Sunday 1 April 2012. New International Convention and Exhibition Centre for Aberdeen I hope that after reading it you will see that none of the content in the story is true, and remember on what special day it was posted……….

The Thirroul Seaside and Arts Festival was another great success this year. The action packed program included:-

Friday 30th March
The Festival officially opened with the Art Show at the Thirroul District Community Centre. A Photography Exhibition also opened in the evening at the Thirroul Surf Club, which was followed by a surfing film.

Saturday 31st March
Art Alive transformed the streets of Thirroul into a living gallery with Street Entertainment, a Talent Quest, Kids Zone by Early Years and Street Art. The thousands of visitors enjoyed great food, boutique shopping, and market stalls during the day. The Art Exhibition opened all day in the Community Centre and in the evening people enjoyed the Opening of The Sculpture on the Beach Exhibition at Flanagans Beach Café. The night brought music and dance at numerous township venues.
