I’m very excited to be a part of this inaugural online exhibition
presented by The Moree Gallery!

A Timeless Moment

“an experience wherein one’s typical knowledge of time fades away and one feels a
sense of holistic involvement with another individual or thing or with the universe as a whole”
– Psychology Dictionary

Very deep! But this explains the variety of work by 9 stellar artists in this fabulous exhibition.
Apart from my facades and power poles, the exhibition includes contemporary landscape, still life, interiors
and some gorgeous flamboyant wirework.
And remember… the Gallery is generously offering free shipping on all paintings Australia wide!

The exhibition runs until 31 May 2020

I’m so pleased to be selected as a finalist this year with my tiny painting The Pilot’s Seat!

This is the 3rd time I have been selected (I have submitted 4 times) – but this is special for me
as I am now an exhibiting member of the Australian Marine Artists Society (ASMA).
The ANL Marine Art Prize is an international competition promoting maritime and seafaring subjects in art,
hosted at the beautiful Mission to Seafarers Building in Melbourne’s Docklands (a wonderful opportunity
to see or purchase traditional and contemporary works from artists that have submitted from all around
the world). Entries this year have come from Spain, NZ, USA, Germany and every state in Australia.

MtSF is one of Australia’s oldest charities dating back to 1857 – its roots are steeped in a tradition
of care for the wellbeing of the seafaring community. About 1.4 million seafarers around the world
are responsible for 95% of world trade and they rely on the Mission to Seafarers services and facilities
when their ships are in port. The Mission provides community and support for seafarers who live
and work in often dangerous and isolated conditions at sea, sometimes for months at a time.

Winners will be announced on the opening night of the exhibition
on Thursday 3 October at 6pm. 
Tickets for opening night can be purchased from the Mission
(the exhibition is by gold coin donation to Seafarers).

Mission to Seafarers (Victoria)
717 Flinders Street Docklands Melbourne
Exhibition dates: 4-20 October 2019
10am-8pm daily

on the opening night! Hope to see you there.

The show continues on Saturday, free (and there is a fair for the kids) and finishes on Sunday at noon.

This pair of Very Small Paintings were commissioned for people who have moved house.
My Very Small Paintings are very affordable and are a great way to keep memories, to give as gifts
or just as visual snippets of local themes. Also they can be hung side by side or one above the other.
Or not together. Anywhere. Email or call me to enquire.
I don’t take a deposit for the very small commissions but I do charge a little more than usual
as they are often more complex than my normal Very Small Paintings.
But then… if you don’t like the work you don’t have to pay for it!

I’m so excited that this collection of my facade paintings are now hung at the Sackville Hotel in Rozelle!
They look amazing on a deep charcoal wall in the front bar. All the paintings are of various locations
on the Balmain Peninsula, some obvious, some not so (I love to keep people guessing).
Thank you Sackville for the purchase and hanging them so beautifully in their new home!

As part of Art Month Sydney, over 100 inner west art studios and galleries open their doors
during this annual Art Trail. It’s a rare opportunity for the public to see inside working studios
and chat with the artists direct, and perhaps even purchase an affordable work of art.
The Art Trail stretches over 2 weekends in March. Included are many tours, workshops,
artists talks, and exhibition openings and most events are free. More info @innerwest_council

This work, Balmain to Barangaroo is from my Very Small Paintings series and sold during
the trail, along with quite a few others. Thank you all who dropped by my studio on Saturday,
your purchases and lovely compliments!

This year, my studio was only open for one day, so on Sunday I became “a tourist” and visited
a few studios myself. Something I actually never get to do! I love this community event as artists
meet and get feedback from the public, but also engage with other artists from all disciplines as well.
Looking forward to next year!

The Stepping Stone House Regatta is an annual fundraising event hosted by the Royal Sydney
Yacht Squadron, Kirribilli.  It’s a fun day for sailors with a competitive race followed by an evening
at the club to swapstories and enjoy a casual dinner and prize giving.

Stepping Stone House has been helping young people at risk, through no fault of their
own, to rebuild their lives, for over 29 years and RSYS has been a proud supporter since 2000.

My painting, On the Breeze, was inspired by images of various twilight regattas held by the RSYS.
It was auctioned at the post-regatta dinner this evening, and I’m very thrilled to say the result
was exceptional! Well done to all concerned, for a truly great outcome for this awesome cause.
