Peyton Johnson's art is travelling across NSW as part of the Bald Archy Prize. 

The 14-year-old is one of 40 artists who were selected to be part of the 28th outing of the cheeky art competition.

The Bald Archy competition is open to artists of all styles and standards to submit portrait paintings dedicated to the arts of humour, dark satire, light comedy, or caricature. 

It is billed as "the only art prize in the world to be judged by a sulphur crested cockatoo" by the name of Maude.

Her only criteria is that the artwork be funny.

“It takes 11 galahs to judge the Archibald but only one cockatoo to judge the Bald Archy,” said the competition's creator Peter Batey OAM in 2016

Peyton's artwork, 'Crocodile Dunny', first travelled to Mansfield in Victoria where it was displayed in the Mansfield 101 High gallery from 22 March to 21 April.

The Bald Archy exhibition is now on display at the Brewarrina Visitor Information Centre until 23 June and is worth a drive to catch, as it won't come any closer to Coonamble this year.

Peyton and her family travelled over to Brewarrina to check it out.

"I really wasn't expecting it," Peyton said of her selection. "So many incredible artists with works that were phenomenal."

Peyton's artistic talents remained undiscovered until she was 13.

"An art teacher really picked up on her talent," Peyton's sister Keeley Watt said. 

Peyton says started out looking at what other people were creating and copying what they were drawing but now she draws or paints whatever comes to mind, using different techniques such as watercolours or pencils.

One wall of her art studio at home features a painting of a flower vase. 

The young artist is already well underway to have a career in art. Some of her postcards can be found at the local visitor centre, Outback Arts gallery, and the Coonamble Roadhouse. 

She is also currently immersing herself deeper into Indigenous Arts and created coasters with Aboriginal design on them. 

"It's more error than trial," Peyton joked about trying to work out different symbols and patterns. 

Peyton is still figuring out who she wants to be as an artist but so far her efforts have been fruitful. 

"She's been offered the chance to have an exhibition at Outback Arts if she got a group of work together. There's been great support around of people wanting to support her," Keeley said. 

After the exhibition in Brewarrina, the Bald Archy portraits will be displayed in Holbrook, Deniliquin, Corowa, Temora, and Wagga Wagga.
