A young Hobart artist has been announced as the winner of the Glover Prize for 2025.

At just 24-year-old, Aisha Sherman-Noth has been awarded the coveted award for landscape paintings for her piece called “Weeping birches on the avenue”.

Ms Sherman-Noth said winning the award was “surreal”.

“It hasn’t really hit me yet,” she said.

The artwork is of the landscape from Ms Sherman-Noth’s house on Brooker Highway in Glebe.

“It’s the view outside the window of my house,” she said.

“I painted the highway and the trees behind the highway you see just before the silhouettes of the city.”

Ms Sherman-Noth’s entry statement said her painting was “a place where nature and human activity blend”.

Ms Sherman-Noth said she had always painted, and had done so through high-school and college.

Her love of painting is the tactile nature of it, leaving an imprint from the paintbrush.

“I really like the idea of the artist’s touch where you can see it’s a painting and not a photograph,” Ms Sherman-Noth said.

“You can see someone has purposely painted the scene.”

Ms Sherman-Noth said she didn’t know what she was going to do with the $80,000 award but said she hoped to open a studio in Hobart in the future.

Two Highly Commended pieces from the judges are “Firebreaks” by David Marsden and “Great Oyster Bay’ by an artist called What.

The Glover exhibit at Falls Park Pavilion in Evandale opens March 8 and closes on March 16.
