That's what it feels like this blog is turning into... the udder-obsessed artist is $50,000 richer after winning the 2008 Archibald Prize with her self-portrait, You are what is most beautiful about me, a self portrait with Kell and Arell. Kell and Arell are her children, of whom she said, "Both my children have taken my world by storm and very little compares to the devotion I feel for them both. The intensity of this emotion is not something that I could have prepared myself for. The alchemy of life offered forth from my inhabitable woman's body is perhaps the greatest gift of my life."
Awwwww
