Last Saturday Elisa was awarded the inaugural 'Midwest Art Prize' at the beautiful Geraldton Regional Art Gallery for her piece 'The Strange Quiet of Things Misplaced #24'.
2010 was a particularly difficult and challenging one so the validation of the time, effort and emotional energy invested in this new series was/is very much appreciated. This especially given that the show itself was full of Perth 'stars' and is of a very high standard across the board.
She was, in her words, shocked to have won but nonetheless grateful for the acknowledgment.
It runs through to May 29 at the Geraldton Regional Art Gallery.
