Be an Earth Mother

Post Exhibition

We need a post exhibition debrief.
Last night I had an exhibition of my new work as part of the RAW:Brisbane showcase at Oh Hello in Brisbane.  I had my own little space to set up and was given a fence to display my art on.
Thank you to everyone that came along and supported me on the night and to any one who took the time to stop and have a look at my work! :)   It felt really good to create this body of work.

I created a "Spring Collection" for the event.
Hand painted bunting with water colour spring patterns
Colourful star lights
roses
A card stand filled with my range of greeting cards
water colour & pencil
flora and fauna
homely loves
Heart felt messages

My current inspirations need to be acknowledged: Lizzy Stewart, Charlotte Trounce, Leah Goren, Anke Weckmann and Kelly Thompson.

Ok be prepared to have your eyes filled with multiple images of my new artwork.... haha

Oh! And I got a new hair cut for the event. It feels sooooo good to have fresh hair.




Playing with an old lens from a recently discovered/remembered family SLR camera. It is exciting because the old lens works with my DSLR and my new lenses work my the old SLR. Lots of fun to play with.


"I love my little home"



I like to draw a rough mock up before I work on the final piece.

My sister whipped up a dream catcher and helped me prepare some decorations for my upcoming exhibit!



My beautiful and talented friend Erin Michelle Ward hosted an exhibition at her home on Thursday.
I think it was the greatest idea! She has a perfect little space for hosting her own exhibition. I loved it so much. I also think it is the perfect way to have a party and show off some work.
 I bought 2 Erin originals and am very pleased to have them and love them all to myself. I could have gotten into a bidding war over them, but I got in fast.
I hope that she hosts another one in the future and that the word gets around about her excellent catering, free wine, lovely company and heart felt art work!

This is one of my purchases: I snapped this tree up before Steve could take it!
