'Hotel room during Covid I' makes the finals cut at the 2024 Lane Cove Art Award.

Artist Statement:

I felt I hadn’t said everything I wanted to with the images I had collected and been inspired by, over the years. Covid, and the two-year lockdown we had in Melbourne, prevented me from going out and finding new material as I had intended and so I revisited older material and imbued it with the emotions that I was feeling at the time. This painting is inspired by Hopper's 1931 work 'Hotel Room'.
