Tread Lightly Exhibtion

Shannon Wilson of Contour Clayhouse and I have teamed up again (third time’s the charm) to bring you a new collection inspired by our local, natural environments. When Enoggera Creek flooded at the start of 2022, the run-off and debris that thundered downstream particularly from the Reservoir, dramatically changed the look and course of theContinue reading “Tread Lightly Exhibtion”

Art Journal Courage | Melbourne

Last weekend I flew to Melbourne to be with some amazingly creative friends and learn a few things in person from the inimitable Dina Wakley.

Jennifer Lee has been doing her Exploding Box project for a couple of years, so joined in this time around. Man,Continue reading “Exploding into 2014”

Milestones & Millstones

I guess this is Part II of the last post. So much happened in 2013 (as with all of us). The kids. My true Blessings. Mr 12 had a great sporting year. Cricket, football, cricket. Every Aussie boy’s dream year. His football team made the finals but lost. They weren’t given much hope at theContinue reading “Milestones & Millstones”
