Here’s the painting in situ Pemberton.
I was so happy to hear that I won the 'Anonymous Award' at the Pemberton Art Prize. The theme was Horizon.
“Congratulations on receiving the $250 Anonymous Award. Judge Julian Bowron's comment:
"A peaceful image of the sailor looking out across the water, which captures the viewer in the moment. The red-pink of the foreground and blue of the sea are beautifully painted."
Diana Neggo – Artist Bio
I was born in Perth, Western Australia, and now live and work in the scenic Ferguson Valley. My practice revolves around acrylics, oils, charcoal, collage, oil sticks on canvas and board. I am best known for my loose abstract and semi-abstract compositions, where free mark-making and layered textures create an emotional connection with the viewer.
Inspired by the natural world, I focus on seascapes and landscapes that capture fleeting moments of beauty and insight. My work is grounded in gestural abstraction—intuitive, expressive, and open-ended—offering viewers a space to reflect and construct their own narratives
