Let's Talk Art Blog

What do you give an artist for Christmas? There's something that's top of my list this year...... No, it's not paint, or new pencils or brushes or even workshop experiences or a special gallery visit (though I'd love to be gifted a quick trip to Sydney to see the Magritte exhibition at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.....) But in reality, it's none of those things.

I've tried juggling more than once.... I can definitely say, it's not on my list of successful achievements! But set aside, for a moment, the image of a court jester's outfit and the three pointed hat with bells on the end and the pixie shoes with the curled up toes.

I'm thrilled to have been selected as a featured artist in Create! Magazine's latest issue. My interview for the magazine is below or if you'd like to know more about what's in the rest of the issue - read on!

I think I'm going backwards. But is it a bad thing? I've stumbled into a pause..... It's been a pretty hectic few months, culminating in Noosa Open Studios and I won't lie, I sat down on the Sunday afternoon and enjoyed the thought of having no particular deadlines to meet this side of the festive season - which someone reminded me the other day is only 12 weeks away (I've absolutely no idea how that can be possible, my brain is still in January).  

Who doesn't love a bit of Magic? Wow, what a week it's been! When the mundane stuff is done, the floor is swept, the paintings are on the wall, and I can see through the windows properly for the first time since last October, the waiting begins.

With Noosa Open Studios 2024 underway, I thought I'd take advantage of the beautiful weather (and the fact that my studio space is reasonably tidy) and do a short video tour, to share this years exhibition of work and my studio surrounds, for anyone not able to make it in person. You'll see latest pieces from my new Wayfinder Series, which are now up in the Gallery section of my website and available works are listed in my Shop.
