This year's winner of the $15,000 Bayside Acquisitive Art Prize (BAAP) is Louise Tate for her allegorical oil painting, Self Portrait with Strawflower (2023), which was chosen from the works of 38 finalists and 420 entries.
Louise lives near the Yarra River and the re-emergence of strawflowers after flooding, inspired her to explore the ideas around nature and its lifecycle.
During Louise's recent visit to Bayside Gallery, we had the opportunity to speak with her about her award-winning artwork, Self Portrait with Strawflower.
Don't miss your chance to view the inspirational works in the Bayside Acquisitive Art Prize finalist exhibition at Bayside Gallery before it ends on 2 July.
