Oh what a night it was! The second annual RAWards was conveniently located in Brisbane this year and thus I was blessed to be a part of this national event! Though not a title taker I felt privileged to be named alongside the winners as a Director's Highlight for 2013. The evening was home to live music and performing art, runway shows, visual art and photographic exhibitions.
Once again The Arena was filled with a fruitful crowd of family, lovers, supporters, media representatives, photographers and Australia's emerging talent in the arts. The vibe was a lot more relaxed for me this time round and I even allowed myself to do a bit of shopping! Its so hard not to be carried away when you're surrounded by such magnetic creative energy!
Two of my favourites for the night were Bonnie Hislop and Amanda Whitelaw from Hungry Designs. Bonnie's work is whimsical and intricate and I was so inspired. I only recently started dabbling in the art of pencil and so I'm mesmerised when I see someone else's work in this medium!

As for Hungry Designs, Amanda's work is amazing! A lot of the pieces are inspired by popular culture and thus it was automatically right up my alley! Myself and most of my friends are obsessed with Disney and so it didn't surprise me that we all took at least one of Amanda's designs home! Check out Amanda's Etsy store here! All my photos of Amanda's set up are blurry so heres one taken by Interlaced Media who also covered the event!

Wedding Flowers by Julia Rose was once again a stand out for me and almost everyone who came to the event! Congratulations to Julia's model that they used for the installation, she was perfectly still for almost four hours! It definitely would have been a challenge but it was overall a success. I feel like this was the most uploaded moment of the night! Gorgeous, no?
