The Artist Society of Phillip Island Region (ASPIR) hosted another successful exhibition over the Easter break.

The Judge for the event was Sue Jarvis, an accomplished and prize-winning member of the Melbourne Society for Women Painters and Sculptors.

Karen Allen won the Best Body of Work Award, while Carolyne Jane won Best in Show for her painting "The Parched Landscape".

With good crowds each day at Berninneit, there was an exciting number of red dots on display, as art lovers snapped up pieces by local artists.

Congratulations to all the winners and a massive thank you to all the local businesses and artists
