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.

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.

Exhibition Opening

On Sunday Feb 1st, around 90 people enjoyed great live music, plenty of delightful food and drinks, and a keynote address by Tony Martin at the official opening of ‘Abundant’. The abundant series has been inspired by faith and significant places and presents a visual narrative for the metaphor ‘to dwell in high places’. The artist explores the concept of lifes ‘high points’ and ‘mountaintop experiences’ and our desire to stay in that space. 25 works were on display, 22 of which were completed in the last 10months since Joannas son was born. The exhibition continues until Feb15.
