In honour of Alan McEvey (Founding member), Geoff Douglas (Past President) and all our Presidents and Council Members we have transformed the two awards into one Annual Presidents’ Award. Its aim is to acknowledge, encourage and reward members for excellence and participation in exhibitions throughout the year.
The Presidents’ Award is decided by a point system from all our exhibitions in a year, with points accrued from awards (winner, two runners up and highly commended in each WASA exhibition) plus all work entered. It began in 2007 with the first award presented in October 2008 for the 2007 – 2008 exhibition period
for artists. |

 'Macrocystis- Adrift in Liquid Light' acrylic on canvas The sun beams down dancing patterns as old as time through transparent water onto the sandy bottom of the sea. A sinuous frond of seaweed caught in the current drifts by, held aloft by it's array of floatation bladders. For me a wonderful sight. During the 1980's I helped when the Museum of Victoria collected marine specimens prior to the establishment of the Bunurong Marine reserve. Since then I have looked at the beauty, line, colour and texture of seaweeds through my eyes as an artist. Living by the coast has enabled me to closely observe and appreciate these Australian native plants and where they live. |
