The Adelaide Royal Show celebrated Summer Scardigno’s achievement in the annual Junior Art and Design competition by creating a special prize for her. On Friday 20^th September Gary Shulz OAM from the Royal Show presented Summer with an award for an ‘Outstanding Art Exhibit’ and a cash prize. Summer has entered her stunning paintings into this competition for the last 6 years. In his speech, Gary expressed his admiration for Summer’s extraordinary talent, highlighting her remarkable journey as an artist:

“I first saw Summer’s work at the Royal Adelaide Show. I was very impressed. So much so that this year, as a sponsor of the JACD at the show, I wanted to give her a special award for her exceptional painting skills. Summer, everybody who saw your work at the show this year, and last year, where overwhelmed by the extraordinary skills you display in your work. As an art student you clearly see the world differently from most. The colours, compositions, textures, positive and negative shapes, and technical skills all come together to produce wonderful images. Well done. All who know Summer must be so very proud of her.”

We congratulate Summer on her success and look forward to seeing the art she creates into the future.
