May 2011 update...

Sorry it's been a while since I updated, but the move to the Capricorn coast kind of kept me busy for a while...Many Moons exhibition at the John Mullins Memorial gallery was a great success...for the record we had 3839 visitors through the gallery during the exhibition and sold more than $3000 on opening night. I am already looking towards my next exhibition, and enjoying painting and creating on my days off work (yes...still have to work). Water will be a prominent feature in the next exhibition, of course, and this ties in closely with my ongoing themes of the moon, cycles, tides of life, the dreamworld....

Gelatine printmaking...

Last weekend I had a fabulous time experimenting with various printmaking techniques, including gelatine printmaking, at Petas wonderful studio...Bowerbird Studio...on the Cap coast. I am inspired to use this technique in future artworks and have purchased a very cheap..."first"brayer and some gelatine to get started with. My first efforts are indeed simple nd not yet works of art...however I would like to share these images and have loads of ideas about how they may be used...eg in collage, card and book making, gift wraps, and of course works of art on paper or canvas...the possibilities are really endless...Thanks once again to Peta Lloyd...sister artist extrordinaire!!! (did I spell that correctly???)

Big move...and farewell

In the new year I will be leaving Miles to return to Rockhampton...I look forward to being close to old freinds and being involved once again in the dynamic art community of Central Qld. Of course I will miss Miles and value the support and inspiration I have gained, especially from the team at Dogwood Crossing...they are true gems. My exhibition opening of Many Moons on Friday 7th Jan 2011 will now also be a farewell to Miles...the night of a new moon...new beginnings...
