A print of my award-winning painting of Mother Mary MacKillop (pictured below) is now available in limited edition. "My Childhood Vision of Mother Mary MacKillop galloping past the Alpha Convent bringing more Joeys to Central Western Queensland" was painted in 1994 for the exhibition "Mother Mary: A Tribute" held at the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney to celebrate the beatification of Mother Mary MacKillop announced by Pope John-Paul II in Sydney in 1995. Until now there hasn't been any print made of this acclaimed painting other than a postcard commissioned by the Alpha/Jericho Shire Council. I'm planning a limited edition high quality giclee print on watercolour paper, which will be personally signed by me and numbered. Naturally the print will increase in value over time as a collectable artwork. I'm offering you the opportunity to purchase one or more for the very reasonable price of $550.00 plus postage and handling. The print will be available to the public at this low price for a limited period of time. At this stage I am able to make this offer to you without the added dealer's commission and the showroom extras, which would take the market price to $1,100.00. The original painting from 1994 hangs in the office of St Stephen's Cathedral, Brisbane generously on loan from its owner, a private collector. This painting was viewed and discussed by Pope John-Paul II in 1995 at the Powerhouse Museum, where it won second prize in the exhibition Mary MacKillop: A Tribute. This exhibition celebrated the beatification of Mother Mary MacKillop announced by Pope John-Paul II during his visit to Australia that year. A second version of the painting, known as the Madrid Version is in the Parliament House Collection, Canberra. The Madrid Version was painted in 1995 for exhibition in Spain in 1996 at ARCO, an international artfair. The original painting was made in 1994 and is unusually similar to a portrait of Kylie Minogue made by the French photographers Pierre et Gilles a year later in 1995. availale in three forms: 1.
