Jenna's artwork 'Uncle Jim' was voted as people's choice by those that attended the exhibition.
The artwork is a portrait of local Jim Morris.
"Jim Morris is a very amiable and recognisable character in our community who is highly regarded by all those who are lucky enough to meet him," said Jenna.
" He is very involved in the community with singing, coaching and even acting.
"He has become a mentor to a lot of individuals.
"Aside from that amazing beard, I chose Jim as my subject as there is a real intriguing presence about him that I knew would be incredibly tough to capture in a drawing but if I could pull it off, I might just be able to give people a sense of "getting lost in a work" as I experience when I am creating it.
"It's a beautiful thing to be able to share. Jim was the perfect choice for that."
