Compass Opening


 Last night was the official opening of my small solo exhibition at Compass Art Space. What a great night! Lots of people came out to see the show and the place was buzzing. At one point it was shoulder to shoulder and I could hardly hear myself speaking. Thanks to my husband who served drinks all night- he was run off his feet!
I grabbed a few snaps before we opened the doors....
 And my husband managed one shot of some guests when it wasn't too busy!
This exhibition will run until April 15, Wednesday- Friday, 10am-2pm (or by appointment).
Compass Art Space is located at 44 Beaumont Street, (next to Giannotti's and across from the Gourmet Goose). There are so many great eats along Beaumont Street, why not grab some friends and come in for some coffee and cake and swing by and say hello!
Thanks to everyone who came out, thanks to a wonderfully supportive husband. After several months of being in the studio every night until 1am- I'm so glad it's finally all up on the walls so I can get some sleep!! ha!

New work at Shopfront Gallery


There are three new pieces from my new collection currently on display at Shopfront Gallery from March 1-April 1.
 (My son was very helpful during installation. He is a valued team member.)
 Rockpool, acrylic on board, 91cm x 122cm

 study for rockpool I, acrylic on canvas paper, 10cmx 23cm (image size)
study for rockpool II, acrylic on canvas paper, 10cmx 23cm (image size)

The Gallery window (at 539 Hunter Street) can be viewed at any time through the day and is also lit up in the evening for night viewing. So take a stroll along Hunter Street, or maybe pop into the award winning Thara Thong Thai  restaurant right next door.

The Shopfront gallery window is part of the Factotum Studio Art Gallery, which houses beautifully framed limited edition screen prints from various artists, including John Coburn and Cressida Campbell.  The prints are uniquely framed by resident artist Mike Phelps using recycled timbers. The gallery is open Mon-Fri 9am-1pm and Sat 10am-4pm.
