About Lucy Morningstar

 
 
  • Biography

    I believe art should be more than conceptual fluff, emotional chaos, or status posturing.

    I believe it should be transcendent — a visual embodiment of truth, beauty, and goodness.

    My portraits celebrate the divine feminine, not as a weapon or a performance, but as a sacred presence: soft, strong, and sovereign.

    I create for collectors who understand that beauty is not decoration, but devotion, legacy, and redemption.

    2015

    Dough Moran National Portrait Prize, Semi-Finalist

    For the past 27 years the Doug Moran National Portrait Prize (DMNPP) has encouraged both excellence and creativity in contemporary Australian portraiture by asking artists to interpret the look and personality of a chosen sitter, either unknown or well known.

    Founded by Doug & Greta Moran and family in 1988, the DMNPP is an annual Australian portrait prize supporting Australian artists and the wider arts community by holding the free annual Moran Prizes exhibition, now at Juniper Hall Paddington, displaying the top 30 works selected by nominated judges each year.

    Currently with an annual first prize of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,000), the Prize is an important part of Australia's Arts calendar. The Prize is acquisitive and the winning portrait immediately becomes the property of the Moran Arts Foundation, to be exhibited permanently as part of the Moran Arts Foundation Collection.
