</a Winner of the Wilderness and Adventure prize, Mt Wilson Spring Blossom Festival Exhibition 2017.for Temperate Rainforest #12 & #13 Cathedral of Ferns. Carbon pencil on paper
Judged by Anthony Bond OAM , he preferred to not separate the two drawings as they were so similar and complemented each other, also noted down that the ‘drawing was very fine with confident marks’.
This is the second time Anthony has acknowledged my work and awarded me the top prize.

Blue Lake 15, 16 jenolan caves series, conte pastel on paper 18x27cm diptych 2015
1st Prize Blackheath Art Prize 2015
Judge David Middlebrook’s comments: Meredith Cooper’s delicate work on paper, Blue Lake 13, Jenolan Caves, is a beautifully realised painting, a tonal work that carefully balances detail and colour. It evokes and triggers a memory in the viewer, that will take all of us back to a place and a time, a bush walk, a picnic, time spent with a loved one, good art always evokes memory. Its surface is fascinating. More than this, it has the ability to evoke meditation in both the viewer and the artist. It allows time out in an ever increasingly crazy world.
