Kyogle artist Molly Darvall, 18, was named the winner of the Friends of the Gallery Peopleâs Choice Award as part of the 2020 Hurford Hardwood Portrait Prize.
Darvall created the oil portrait of her sister as part of her High School Certificate Visual Arts subject in 2020.
It was selected for Artexpress, an exhibition of HSC art students across the state, but Darvall instead chose to have the work included in the Hurford Hardwood Portrait Prize.
Born in Brisbane and raised in Kyogle, the artist recently graduated from Year 12 at Trinity Catholic College in Lismore.
She is about to move to Melbourne, where she will be studying visual arts at the University of Melbourne.
