The Judge for the 2025 show was Paul McDonald Smith, OAM.
The judging has been completed for the 2025 show and his comments are below.
With a background in architecture, It Hao Pheh combines earthy tones with great imagination and creativity in his rendering of buildings and conversely, nature . We welcome him as one of our Guest Artists.
Pierina Sannia is one of our Guest Artists for the 2025 show. Her vivid, detailed and life-like pastel works are a joy to behold.
The 2025 Show is exhibiting fabulous works from some very talented artisans.
We have the superb and sophisticated ceramics of John Stroomer and beautiful, organic and earthy ceramic tiles, pots and bowls from Marta Gola, who has entered some artwork as well.
Then for something completely different, the talented Jean Sheridan has showcased her quirky and delightful lamps made from old dress patterns - they are whimiscal and dreamy.
Last, but not least, we have the fun nautical sculptures and pieces from Deb Jacob, sourced from recycled bits of driftwood and sail materials.
We have a fabulous week of demonstration artists showing their talents at our show...

Over the past 52 years the Mornington Art Show has raised in excess of $1.5 million, with 65% of the funds have been spent on local Mornington area projects. In mounting a show of this size, Rotarians are supported by many other volunteers from our community.
Thank you to everyone who plays a part.
