The Black Swan Prize for Portraiture was born from humble beginnings in 2006 in a small tin shed in Western Australia. Through an incredible journey of passion and determination, it is now one of Australia's richest portrait prizes, with thousands of people visiting the exhibition at the Art Gallery of Western Australia each year.

In 2019, the Black Swan Prize was rechristened the Lester Prize, and this book, Through The Artists' Eyes, was created to document and showcase the pivotal Black Swan Prize years (2007-2018). This exquisite visual arts book includes stunning photos of winning artworks, the artists' stories, and the self-doubt, rejection, and inspiration behind many of Australia's finest artists.
