Cape Barren Geese were once an endangered species! They are common now, in fact, so common that goose pooh is a problem on nearby Phillip Island. You’ll find the geese illustrated, sans pooh, as an unframed linocut in my exhibition at Red Tree Gallery in Jindivick. The show is open daily until May 28.
Another linocut from my exhibition. An edition of 23, one of the prints is off to Canada! The show continues, open daily, until May 28, and I’ll be there this Friday afternoon with my sketchbook.
My name up in lights - country style. I love that @lauriecollins1 rebadges the A-board for each exhibiting artist at his gallery. Also thanks to Beau & Paul Ledger at Drouin signs for using the most brilliantly apt decorative font possible. The opening is Sunday afternoon 2-4 so keep an eye out for the A-board on the road verge if you are coming.
This Lyrebird Linocut, one of my favourites, hangs in my exhibition, the last of a limited edition of ten. The superb lyrebird can be found in the forests of southeastern Australia. The male is the bearer of the most elegant of all tails. The superb lyrebird has an extraordinary ability to accurately mimic a huge variety of sounds. Both male and female lyrebirds sing but males are louder and sing more often . The wine and cheese opening is this Sunday 2-4, and the show is open daily all of May.
A rare self portrait linocut, circa 1996. I was a new mother, living in Wedderburn, far away from my own mum. I pretty much breastfed my daughter on demand and my main support came from the most brilliant group of local friends and members of the Boort Nursing mothers group. A special bond was formed and these women are lifelong friends. Back then I was lucky to get one linocut carved and printed, let alone an edition.
Thank you to the many lovely people who came to my opening today. I so appreciate it. Thank you for your interest in my prints and for the wonderful printmaking questions. My little Ruddy Turnstone, reduction linocut 4/18 has found a new home. It was my pleasure to be able to explain the process to you all. The show continues daily until May 28, and I will be there each Friday afternoon.
Here’s proof linocut printmaking makes you happy! I had a great day running a workshop with the crew from @shepparton_access .
Have a great weekend. I’m slouched in front of the TV at home having a little down time. It’s been a busy last few months, and I’ve been all over my home state of Victoria. This photo was taken at Sorrento Ocean Beach. Wild areas and National Parks are very important to me, providing valuable places to re-centre and reflect.
Only 11 days left to catch my exhibition CUT INK PRINT, which can be described as a mid career survey exhibition. My limited edition prints hang above the quirky metal sculptures of @lauriecollins1 . Open daily 9-5, even Election Day!
The wine & cheese launch ‘do’ of my exhibition at Red Tree Gallery in Jindivick is this Sunday 2-4pm. l’d love to share your company. Sip wine and take in a short talk about why I do what I do, then stroll in the sculpture garden.
A snap of my exhibition at Red Tree Gallery in Jindivick. Join me for opening drinks this Sunday 5th May 2-4pm. For those who like to draw, I'll be hanging out with @lauriecollins1 each Friday afternoon 1-4 at the Gallery. Bring your sketchbook or whatever you are working on, or just come to chat about the work.
