Artist of the Year 2025
Saturday 29 November 2025
The Salisbury Artists present a range of experience, from those who are just beginning, to those who have enjoyed the thrill of painting over many years.
Each artist is free to use a whole range of mediums and you can see examples of people working in oils, acrylics, pastels, water colour, alcohol inks or a combination of those.
Each artist is unique and so are the subjects they choose to paint.
As a group of painters we draw confidence from each other,
learning side by side and having a wonderful time.
This year's judge was Ellen Steyn assisted by Sharyn Sinclair and Julie Bruno from the Gawler Art Society

Below are our artists' entries and their blurb on each piece
Majestic Leopard by Jennifer Atterton
During SALA I began this painting to show any visiting guests the different steps and layers of how I go about creating my pastel paintings. I use 3 versions of the same reference shot including: 1. An over-saturated shot for depth during the under-colour. 2. A black and white shot for the different values 3. A high DPI photographic quality shot for the details. Eyes are my speciality, and I pay close attention to these to bring out the realistic appearance
