Finalist – Hawkesbury Art Prize 2025

Tim Owers announced as a finalist in the 2025 Hawkesbury Art Prize.

Each Frond A Sister (Mooney Mooney Creek, NSW) by Tim Owers was selected as a finalist in the Hawkesbury Art Prize, hosted by Purple Noon Gallery.

It was an honour to be selected, and the exhibition was a wonderful celebration of contemporary Australian landscape painting.

The title of this work, Each Frond A Sister, is borrowed from the poem ‘Fern’ by Sydney poet Eileen Chong, whose rich prose beautifully articulates the qualities of bracken fern. Below the ground’s surface, each of these delicate forms are connected by root systems that share water and nutrients amongst themselves. In many ways, the bracken act like a family, or a symbol of community – connected, integral, synergised.
