Ursula Shepherd: 2025 "2nd Prize Printmaking"

“I was thrilled with the phone call and the news of my award, especially since I saw some of my competition when I came to deliver my work.

Thank you to the judge and the Birregurra Art Show!

Ursula Shepherd, 2025

Ursula lives in Anglesea and works in Printmaking and Watercolour. She predominantly uses fine cuts in her lino plates to form an intricate picture of her environment. She uses motion in her cuts to show movement in some static poses of local flora and fauna.

“Eastern Spinebill’s Morning Feast” was inspired by these wonderful birds visiting my garden and feasting on the nectar from various native plants.
