Linda Morris mentioned artist Wendy Sharpe AM FRSN in her review of the 2025 Salon des Refusés, published by the Sydney Morning Herald online in an article titled ‘The powerful portraits that didn’t make the Archibald Prize cut’.
‘The Salon takes its name from the renegade French Impressionists of the 1860s who held a breakaway exhibition from the French Academy, and is regarded as the “alternative selection” to the official Archibald and Wynne Prizes. Among this year’s 32 portraits are paintings by former Archibald winners Wendy Sharpe (1996), and Lewis Miller (1998).’
