EDITOR’S LETTER

orgive us, but at , we can’t help being seriously into beauty and talent – we appreciate being surrounded by and looking at exquisite and stunning imagery, and we absolutely love discovering new creative brilliance. To me, there is nothing more exciting than seeing young creatives develop their ArtStart competition sponsored by Belle Property and Studio Gallery Melbourne. This year the exhibition and winners’ announcement was held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and our winner was Benjamin Throsby, second place was Olympia Antoniadis and third place went to Archie Tait – Archie has entered every year since the prize started and this year took out third. The youth of today cop quite a bit of flak, so it is reassuring to see perseverance and hard work prevail.
