Grampians Brushes 2019
A month abroad and the sketchbook that happened
we had a lovely 4 weeks wandering and rambling through England and Wales, a great time with family and a chance to experience something of the rich landscape, natural and social history. So much to draw!
Everyday Sketchbooks @ McGregor Winter School
This past July saw 14 dedicated and enthusiastic students join me for a week of sketchbook scribbling. We had the best time together over the joy that drawing together and sharing our lives can bring. Thanks everyone at Artworx USQ Toowoomba for the smooth running and excellent programme.
Australien Future at S.A. Migration Museum
My mother’s family migrated to Adelaide in the late 50’s so it was fitting to have Australien Future – tales of migration hosted by the Migration Museum in Adelaide. It is a lovely museum in the centre of the city and a perfect space for the show.
Private Mural Commission
Bush stone curlews, kookaburras and shorebirds grace the walls of this property in Nelson Street, Ormiston, thanks to the generous actions of the owners who wish to raise awareness of local wildlife and share this with the neighborhood.
With my faithful offsider/daughter Meg, we sprayed and painted over a few days to have these characters emerge.
Gladstone Art Gallery and Museum hosts Australien Future – tales of migration
Friday night 12th April – 25th May 2019
Gladstone Regional Art Gallery & Museum, Cnr Goondoon and Bramston Str, Gladstone
Monday – Sat 10 am – 5 pm
The gallery has acquired the work ‘First Home Gladstone’ for their collection and it’s very fitting it remain with the gallery as it depicts the house my dad’s family settled in on arrival from the Netherlands in 1955. The house no longer exists but it remains a part of the history of Gladstone. My family gifted the gallery with a copy of my Grandfathers film which documented the whole journey from Rotterdam to Gladstone and from which many of the paintings in this exhibition were based on.
Australien Future opening night!
Thanks to all of the 200 people who attended opening night at Redland Art Gallery… it was very lovely to share that with you. The Shore Birds exhibition also looked wonderful and it is a lovely accompaniment as we discuss the vulnerability of our migrating shorebirds as well as our shared migration stories.
Thanks to Louise Martin-Chew for opening with Professor Richard Fuller, School of Biological Sciences, University of Queensland.
