Ravenswood Australian Women's Art Prize : Finalists

Past Prizes - 2019

Congratulations to our 2019 Winners

The 2019 Ravenswood Australian Women’s Art Prize Professional Artist Prize of $35,000 has been won by Joanna Braithwaite for her oil on canvas artwork, Bold and the Beautiful, a bold and delightfully humorous work. A masterful painting which characterises our unique Australian birds whilst celebrating the eccentric in all of us. Chris Casali has won the Emerging Artist’s Prize of $5,000 for her graphite watercolour, Mutawintji Dreaming, an intriguing shimmering dreamscape; a complex work which conjures the space of the imagination.
