Member for Hornsby Matt Kean said, “Emily, is a clear choice for the Award. Her success over the last 12 months has been phenomenal. Her story will inspire others to keep working hard to achieve their dreams.”
Mr MATT KEAN ( Hornsby ) ( 16:26 ): From 250 artists only 20 were chosen for their works to be displayed at Woolloomooloo's Firstdraft Gallery and no-one is more deserving of this than Pete Dudding. But that is not all, our Pete is breaking down barriers in becoming the first artist with an intellectual disability to be displayed at Firstdraft. Pete's first solo exhibition is entitled "Pig Dog" and has been curated by Paul Williams who has been working beside Pete at Studio A since 2015. "Pig Dog" was a remarkable success, with half of Pete's paintings sold by the close of the exhibition.
After being elected as Member for Hornsby in March 2011, I have embarked on many initiatives that the community and I see as pivotal issues for Hornsby. I see and understand the needs of the community and am proud to play my part.
