Art Competition Gallery 2021
Welcome to Palliative Care Australia’s 2021 Art Competition gallery! Palliative Care Australia’s annual Art Competition is back for its 6th year.
This year’s competition theme is “Live as well as possible, as long as possible”.
This theme highlights an important aspect of palliative care – allowing people with life-limiting conditions to continue to do the things they enjoy most and be around the people they love for as long as possible.
In keeping with this theme, entries are asked to focus on how palliative care can: Improve quality of life, help people participate in activities that are important to them, and create opportunities for love, laughter, and fulfilment.

'Healing Heart' is all about the self-healing, being in charge and making changes. In many cultures the heart is the gate to your sole and body and therefore your own healing mechanism, living well and being positive. Having a healthy heart can help to change your mindset, being more positive and can encourage longevity. The gold behind the heart represents the power and energy we have to make these changes.

This pastel study of a beautiful sky by the sea soothes the mind and soul. I drew this in pastel from a painting I once saw and it just made me feel so serene. Living well free of stress is something I aspire to every day especially having lost both my parents and sister, life is so precious.

This painting is of my daughter, Eloise, with our aging beagle, Henry. Henry was a much loved member of our family following our adoption of him as a rescue puppy. When I took the reference photo for this image, Henry was definitely slowing down, but he loved life and Eloise was his special friend. We loved and cared for Henry until his death last year. He is much missed.

Living as well as possible is normally associated with medical care and medication with regard to palliative care. We sometimes forget the tender money’s of care between family members and in this case, between mother and son. Living we is loving to the fullest.
