About the Artist

I prefer to paint from life and outdoors (en plein air). My work has been described as real, impressionist, bordering on abstract. Light, atmosphere, life and an occasional hint of narrative are central themes.
My work has received recognition through a long list of awards, including

    • 2022 winner of the national Alice Bale Travelling Scholarship and Oil/Acrylic Art
      Awards
    • 2021 finalist in the Henry Jones Art Award
    • 2018 finalist in the Alice Bale Travelling Scholarship Award
    • 2017 finalist in the Lloyd Rees Art Award
    • 2007 finalist in the Alice Bale Portraiture Award
    • twice overall winner of the Tasmanian Art Society Annual Award in 2015 and 2020
    • and overall winner of the Tasmanian ‘Art on Show’ Award in 2017

I made the transition to full-time artist in 2021 following a 36 year career as an agronomist. For more about Rick Crossland Art and upcoming exhibitions see @rckcrossland on Instagram.
