Congratulations to Tamara Dean, whose portrait of Damien Skipper is the winner of the $20,000 ‘Olive Cotton Award’ for photographic portraiture.

The portrait of Damien was made while doing an artists residency in Montsalvat, Victoria last year. The exhibition is now on show at Tweed River Art Gallery in Murwillumbah, NSW, and the winning work has been acquired for the gallery collection.

The winning work ‘Damien’ is illustrated here.
