About the Artist
Sadami Konchi is an enthusiastic, talented and award-wining fine artist and children’s picture book illustrator. What makes Sadami's works so special is her skill in capturing movement and emotions by colourful and lively expressions. She conjures up this magic in minutes. Quick brush strokes are subtly executed to accurately capture all facial expressions and postures.
What you may not know is that her connection to people is more than observational. She has volunteered, supported and advocated for the homeless and for people living with disability. Her sensitivity and authentic love for her fellow humans can be seen in her greatest strength – creating empathetic portraits. These ‘humanistic’ snapshot-like sketches have been described as “spontaneous and beautiful”.
Her many awards include 2023 Doyle Arts Prize Highly Commended, Royal QLD Art Prize Finalist, 2022 May Gibbs Fellowship, 2021 RS Australia Portrait Finalist 2020 Hurford Portrait Finalist, 2019 Australia Council for Arts Grant recipient 2017, Doug Moran Portrait Prize Semifinalist, 2017 WestWords Pinerolo Illustrators in Residence and more.
