Well it's been a while since I've exhibited anywhere (thanks Global Pandemic!) so I'm really looking forward to exhibiting at The Other Art Fair in Sydney again after a 2-year break. I'll have lots of new paintings on display and for sale, including these which I'm calling Mini Messengers.

Inspired partly by Matisses’s paper cut birds, I wanted to paint a whole series of colourful birds to lift mine - and hopefully the viewer’s spirits during this challenging time. Each painting will contain a positive message on the back from me to you.

Come say hi!

Last month, I had a fantastic opportunity to design an 8-metre wide artwork for The Blue Mountains Cultural Centre entrance staircase. The brief was 'the artwork should enliven and enhance the urban streetscape surrounding the Cultural Centre' and my idea was to create a painting that featured a native bird to the Blue Mountains combined with expressive abstract brush strokes in a similar way to my Freedom series.

We decided on a female satin bowerbird, they are a beautiful olive green and pale yellow with purple/blue eyes and I have deliberately enhanced the colours here to show her off in all her glory.

Here I am with the finished artwork, titled 'Bound for a Bower' and installed as panels on the stairs. If you are in the area, come check it out!
