Fiery Start to the New Year

A special edition of the newsletter as January is all but over. Already there has been enough drama for a whole year! Fires and more fires. Much destruction to our native wildlife. For those in Australia, I hope this now finds you safe and well. As a response to the great need, I decided to auction my painting “Summer Skies” and I am thrilled t say it raised just shy of $3000! That money has now gone to the NSW RFS. So many other amazing fundraisers… thanks to everyone who has pitched in to support our wildlife and fire service.

​It is all happening! On the back of a very successful Brisbane workshop it is now time to prepare for my 2 summer workshops in my home town of Shellharbour The tourist industry has taken a beating on the south coast so I am sure this will bring a little joy to our little town.  My online workshop preparation is also underway and my studio now looks like a film set as I work on another way of expanding art education into the world!

I have started my summer series of paintings. I feel these are a suitable response to the New Year and a new direction in my art practice. These smaller studies they are giving me a chance to explore techniques and a greater freedom of expression You, dear readers, will have a sneak peek of these before they head to my stockroom at full price. They are available for sale now. 25X30cm, $750 each and will come framed in these gorgeous white shadow frames. Check these out!
