Di King

winner 2008 with Harold Farey ( judge),

Australian Art Excellence Medallion 2008-9 Di King A.G.R.A.F. Victoria with the judge Harold Farey

Terry Collins Medallion (second place) Lorraine Lewitzka South Australia

As part of the award these two artists will hold a joint exhibition of their work at the AGRA Galleries in August 2009

Terry Collins was a councillor of AGRA and tireless supporter giving extensively of his time and expertise as a teacher. His last uncompleted series before he died in 1991 was of the tribal natives of Papua New Guinea. His memory has been honoured by the naming of the Terry Collins Medallion.

The late Kevin A. Taylor was an esteemed member of AGRA whose talents as an artist, teacher, mentor and judge were well known to other artists and artlovers in the representational art world in Victoria.

The year before he died he was the judge of our Awards Exhibition and said to me after the judging that there should have been a prize for the best painting as well as an award acknowledging the artist whose combined works displayed the most consistent competence - often the artist who achieves the major award doesn't necessarily present what the judge considers is the most outstanding painting of the exhibition.

Kevin died not long before the 2004 exhibition & it was decided to honour his role at the Guild with the Best Painting Award.

We thank this year's judge, Harold Fahey for his careful consideration in chosing the medal recipient. Winners were chosen from the   'Australian Art Excellence Awards Exhibition 2008'.   Each artist for this exhibition was judged on a consistency of talent, skill and professional presentation on a body of three works submitted. 

Previous winners can be viewed on the Awards (archives) page
