The Art of Pain, feature in the Neos Kosmos Good Life

There we all were, celebrating a street that is common to all of us, a very unique street and [...]

Self Portrait (art and chronic pain) will be heading up to Sydney next week for the next round confirming finalists for the National prize. View all the semi finalists here, read more about [...]
The Greek Australian Cultural League of Melbourne (GACLM) Antipodean Palette 2013

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 [...]
And the winner is… ME!
St Luke's exquisite palette exhibition 2013 My first ever art prize win and how perfect that it's been awarded by people whom I treasure, and people who inspire me, not only with my art my practice but with my life also. 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 [...]
