Petrina Hicks (1972– ) studied photo-media at the Canberra School of Art, Australian National University and is now based in Sydney. She works with photography and video to produce artworks that draw on the conventions of slick, glossy advertising imagery in order to question and subvert ideas of beauty and perfection, particularly in relation to the representation of women. She has been exhibiting her works widely both nationally and internationally since 2003 and won the William and Winifred Bowness Photography Prize in 2014 with her work ‘Venus’ (2013).
