Winners of our 2025 Mini Series Art Prize

We’re thrilled to announce that the winner of the 2025 Mini Series Art Prize is Rachel Lucas. Her stunning ceramic series "Mortals" was a unanimous favourite among the judges. Refined, grounding, and deeply resonant, her work made a lasting impression. Rachel has been awarded a solo exhibition at The Corner Store Gallery in 2026, and we can’t wait to see what she creates for this body of work.

Studio Visit with Aileen Francis

Aileen Francis is a passionate artist, maker and art collector. I've been an admirer of Aileen's work for some years now ever since I opened the gallery in 2014 and have been on the hunt for local artists. Her style, medium and subject matter varies greatly from series to series and this new body of work is no different. I caught up with Aileen at her home studio to find out more about her most recent body of work.
