Filipina-Australian artist Loribelle Spirovski has won the People's Choice Award for the Archibald Prize - Australia's most prestigious portrait art prize.
Her winning work is a portrait of Aboriginal Australian musician William Barton, which she painted with her fingers as a nerve injury made painting difficult for her.
Ms Spirovski, who has been an Archibald Prize finalist several times, said she was "overjoyed" that the public selected her work for the People's Choice.
"It has been a difficult few years and this whole experience is the most beautiful reprieve and reward," she said, as quoted in a press release from the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
"I am infinitely grateful to William for allowing me to paint him and so humbled by everyone's responses to the work."
