As you may have noticed if you follow my Instagram posts here, I have been back in the museum drawing more of Queensland's endangered bird species.  This work will contribute to the major body of work, Exquisite Corpse that I have been creating for over 10 years.  More information on the Exquisite Corpse series can be found under Exhibitions in the pull down menu.

My embroidery on eco-dyed fabric titled Silhouette One- Burnt out, is currently available for sale here  you can see a reel of me embroidering some of this piece on Instagram. 

"Inspired by Victorian mourning broaches and silhouette portraiture, Silhouette One- Burnt out (,Memoriam series) is part of a body of work titled solsatalgia about the sense of grief experienced by humanity due to the climate crisis. The portrait serves as an acknowledgement our mutual vulnerability, referencing bush fires and the green growth containing the promise of regeneration and hope for the future."

As a participant in SPARK Ipswich (Ipswich Festival) my work was displayed via projection by Earth Based Projections onto St Mary's Church Ipswich for one evening (14/7/21).  It was a wonderful experience seeing my work at that size, experiencing the audiences reception (which was fantastic) and the feeling of being so well supported by the local council and community.  Over eleven nights the audience got to experience a different local artist each night, it was a great event and a huge boost to local artists confidence.  It had great benefits for the local community who came out to view and participate in other light shows/events taking place that were all within walking distance.   Looking forward to seeing this event again next year.

My latest lino cut The Tree 2021 achieved a highly commended in the most recent Ipswich Art Awards.  This work is part of a series of works I will be making for exhibition possibly some time later this year or next year. 

I am pleased to announce that my work Woven Destiny 3 has been chosen as a finalist for the Clayton Utz Art Award 2019.   The artwork is currently for sale via the website. Below is a photo of it hanging at the Clayton Utz office in Brisbane from the opening night.

In October I was awarded the Susan Cory Contemporary Award in the Somerset Regional Art Awards for my work Woven Destiny 3. 

My newest work Between the Streets 2 (2018) is currently on display as part of the Ipswich Art Awards during the Ipswich Festival.
