Pepper won the 2012 National Ranamok Art Glass Prize, and was named the 2009 Ausglass Emerging Artist, (the Vicki Torr Prize).

Her art applies an innovative use of materials and design to construct an imaginative concept.

Jacqui Hills
I am the founder and volunteer co-facilitator of the urban collective of print media artists Vic Park Printmaking Group. I focus my arts practice in the collaborative community arts space with the aim to share and extend my knowledge of print media and build community through artmaking in an open studio environment. In this role I bring people together to create, experience and share their printmaking in a safe community of play and inquiry, to learn and create relief and mono printmaking techniques.
Printmaking offers the happenchance, the accidental that can be developed and drawn into and from or rearranged. My art reflects this organic process and includes a multimedia approach, such as other forms of printmaking, painting, collage and drawing.
