With Noosa Open Studios 2025 now over for another year, I've found myself reflecting on the experience and the learnings that have happened through my interactions with this year's wonderfully engaged visitors. As always the magic of opening my studio door and waiting to see who will walk through it and what perspective they will bring is something I have come to cherish.

As this years art trail event gets underway, I'm mindful of those who can't make it in person! Take a peek behind the scenes of this years exhibition of original work, ceramic art, prints, sketchbooks and my latest project. You can visit the studio anytime - by appointment - Monday to Saturday 10am to 4pm - just let me know when you'd like to call in!

Many of my recent thoughts and undertakings in the studio have prompted me to consider deeply the notion of being not just an artist but also an observer.   I don't just mean in a literal sense as if I was capturing a still life in charcoal or a en plein air landscape in paint. I mean really making sense of what I am seeing by bringing a multitude of senses to moment of looking.

I can't believe it's come around again so soon - I have no idea where the year has gone! This year marks 10 years since the art trail event began which is a big anniversary to celebrate. Our two major fundraisers in the form of the Prestige Art Auction and the Art Cube event have both been a huge success - with all donated artworks sold and all 40 of the amazing art cubes went to good homes with happy buyers at a fabulous night of food and fun at The Doonan Hotel.

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.
