Solo Show Booked in!

Well I’ve payed the deposit, so it’s official! I’ve booked a solo show for November 2017 at Gallery 503 and am painting away with themes and exhibition titles bouncing around in my head. Titles are jockeying for position, but I think as I assemble a body of work, the final winner will become obvious.

 

I’m also involved in an exciting group show as part of the Inner West Council’s  studio trail in May. Add in a bathroom renovation, three kids, an aging mother and a trip to Indonesia for inspiration and I’d say I’ll be kept pretty busy for the next few months.

I’m still trying to organise a show in Melbourne for this year too, but logistics and the tyranny of distance are hampering progress. If anyone has any ideas of suitable galleries or knows anyone who may want to team up for an exhibition, I’d love to hear from you.

 

Getting Back To It

It’s always tricky juggling life and family commitments with the need to create. I find it hardest in the long Christmas school holidays. I love my kids to bits and really enjoy the more relaxed holiday mode, but by the end of six weeks of entertaining and endlessly feeding and cleaning I really miss painting!

By the time the holidays are done, I’m so out of my creative routine that it takes a concerted effort to get back into gear. There’s really no other way to do it other than just jump in and work. It doesn’t matter if what I’m creating is not my best work, it’s just important to get started, to get back into the flow and discipline of painting.

It’s stinking hot here in Sydney, (AGAIN) way too hot to be in the studio, so I’ve moved indoors with the aircon. Hallelujah!!!! 

Here’s what I’m working on at the moment.

Till Next Time,

Keep Sharing the LOVE !
