Grace Gladdish National Works on Paper Finalist

For more than fifty years the National Works on Paper (NWOP) exhibition has presented a survey of contemporary art and celebrated the medium of paper in all its forms. NWOP is one of the leading art awards and exhibitions in the country, attracting Australia’s foremost contemporary artists working with paper.

Through this nationally significant award, MPRG has proudly acquired 14 winning works, a further 91 through its precursor, the Spring Festival of Drawing and many more purchased for the Gallery by the Friends of MPRG—building one of Australia’s most significant collections of works on paper. With a $20,000 major acquisitive prize, NWOP continues to play a vital role in supporting artists and advancing the practice of contemporary Australian art on paper.

As a finalist in this year’s exhibition Grace Gladdish with her striking work “Flourish” a hand coloured, collage unique piece glows on the exhibition wall.

Grace has works in the stockroom at Blenheim Gallery and with her exhibiting career is fastly becoming a well recognised Tasmania artist in the sphere of printmaking and unique works on paper. Her love of Tasmania’s alpine areas and plants is integral to her wonderful pieces.
