Winner of the Victoria Police Graeme Milburn Memorial Award

Box Hill Rotary’s Ray Mcleod-Dryden presenting Celia Moriarty with the Victoria Police Graeme Milburn Memorial Award

What a lovely idea to create an art award to commemorate someone who has made a great contribution to their community.

Graeme Milburn ‘Milly’ - stationed at Box Hill for over 30 years, was known for his good works and good policing. In partnership with Rotary Club of Box Hill, the members of Box Hill Police Station raise funds for the presentation of the award at the Box Hill Rotary Whitehorse Art Show.

Community service is a really important part of my life so I really appreciate the support and recognition of this award and am honoured to receive it. The painting chosen for the award was Eucalyptus youngiana - you can see the time lapse video of it being painted below - the image is included in my calendar for 2020 and card sets.
