Drawing is central to Pike’s practice. Studying a Painting and Drawing Major at the College of Fine Arts (now UNSW Art & Design), she focused primarily on drawing, but the realities of the local market led her to develop painting. She loves the joy of drawing, and exploring the ‘poetic dimensions’ of paper and a variety of materials – pen, crayon, gouache and texta.

For 35 years the Kedumba Drawing Award has been one of the pre-eminent awards for drawing in Australia. The addition of the $20,000 prize money will ensure that the Award continues to grow and build on its success for many years to come.
