Hailing from the tranquil Southern Highlands, 20-year-old Connor Plummer is rapidly emerging as one of the region’s most captivating young artists.

His work is fuelled by nature and the coming-of-age experience.

Realising his passion for art in his teenage years, Connor’s talents have been recognised through numerous awards including: selection in the 2025 NSW ArtExpress exhibition (exhibited New England Regional Gallery); Finalist in the 2024 Young Archies Prize – Art Gallery of NSW; Winner 2024 Oxley College Adult Portrait Prize; 2024 Winner of the Ngununggula Southern Highlands Regional Gallery Portrait Prize; 2022 Finalist Regional Young Archies, Goulburn Regional Art Gallery.

Connor states: ‘I’ve been fortunate to learn from artists such as Laura Jones, Ben Quilty, Alexander Mackenzie, Heath Nock, Tom Polo, Joanne Ross, Jodie Whalen and Justin Pearson. Their support has deepened my passion in pursuit of the artistic journey.’

‘To me, connection is the beating heart of life. It makes me feel alive. My dream is to share and enrich that connection through my art with you. Art is where I speak my truth. I invite you to explore.’

May art be the spark that ignites the fires of life.
