... and I'm participating, again! This time with two posters I prepared for The Santorini Biennale of Arts, a fabulous competition calling for posters with the theme, Design A Wish for Greece. Sadly it was dumped without explanation (or refunds) and the lovely Vasy Petros coordinating the Antipodean Palette exhibition asked if I'd exhibit the prematurely retired entries. The exhibition aims to support visual arts in the community and to foster a spirit [...]

Sending out a huge thanks to Louise, David and crew at St. Luke Artist Colourmen and Langridge Artist Supplies. Who would have thought that all that chronic pain could lead to this [...]

I've heard people say artwork can take on a life of its own... well now I believe it. Not having been able to make new work for a few years now, somehow my arty life has managed to have fun for both of us. Now, with my Portrait prints of Lynn Savery having crept out of the studio for a recent group show at Steps gallery, and the few remaining Winter Light paintings [...]

Study has been wonderful with Jeff Makin for many reasons, and I intend to resume with it just as soon as I have some reliable capacity so I'm not throwing out my luscious paint and having to clean brushes for a few minutes of activity! One of the very enjoyable aspects of study has been revisiting simplicity. Keep it simple Jeff says and then begins to look around my studio for objects that [...]

Sunday Style's My_Space, featuring 'our' space. Sunday Style's My_Space feature. April 28, 2013 It was lovely of Joanne Hawkins to come out and meet with us and have her great words published in yesterday's Sunday Style 'My_space' feature. Clearly Zephyr's portrait, by Marija Ivkovic in his classic yogi pose stole the limelight. For those that saw the article, forgive the brag but we did want to send it out for anyone who may [...]
