Commissions
Elizabeth Hastings is privileged to work with a network of talented artists and commercial galleries to arrange special commissions for portrait paintings, sculpture or art installations.
Elizabeth’s close collaboration with Yvonne East, for example, resulted in the portrait of The Honourable Chief Justice, Susan Kiefel AC, to commemorate A Centenary of Women Practising Law in New South Wales in 2018. The portrait was a finalist in the 2018 Archibald Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales and has since been acquired by the National Portrait Gallery, Canberra.
