Sitting for Barbie Kjar
Who would have thought staring at the back of an easel could be so inspiring! Not only inspiring, we were enthralled in this simple form of art on the eve that The Australian's Sharon Verghis was publishing her article that questioned whether drawing was dead. From an artist's perspective, Soula particularly felt her own practise validated witnessing the push, pull and struggle she also experiences when drawing and aiming for likeness. Barbie is [...]

A Moment in Gertrude, with Aesop Fitzroy
Perfect. I could begin and end this post with that one single word. Honestly, I could not have asked for a better way to celebrate my Gertrude Streetscape etching than with Aesop Smith Street Fitzroy. My work hanging inside 'my' local Aesop store that's in 'my' neighbourhood with 'my' divine Gertrude Street community. There we all were, celebrating a street that is common to all of us, a very unique street and [...]
The Greek Australian Cultural League of Melbourne (GACLM) Antipodean Palette 2013
... 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 [...]

Early Spring for me in Daylesford
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 [...]
