Orakei Art Exhibition FLYER 29 Oct 2010 FINAL

Here is one of the works I have in the exhibition.  To see more, go to the exhibition website as on the invite.

760x760mm. Gessi and acrylic polymers on raw stretched canvas.

Graeme (my partner) and I joined forces and made this painting using our combined skills.  He found the timber boards and made the frame and I did the rest.  I’ve enjoyed working on this piece more than any others for a long time. I think it was the colaboration aspect that I found so pleasurable.  May there be more!

Shared Jorney. 560x440mm. Oil, Gesso, Timber. $1200

The Blackmore Jean Studio/Gallery where I’m doing a month long residence in June is featured in the latest Art News. I’m mentioned at the end of the article! Pretty exciting. I’ll be exhibiting the work from my residence from July 3 for three weeks.

Check out my new walls!

The inaugural Waiheke Winter Art Festival is happening this Queens birthday weekend – June 5,6,7.  Its a bit swanky, a bit fun, a bit glamorous and way more than a bit of a great way to spend a winters day.  You get to meet Waiheke’s more established artists at their working studios – all in fine style.

Given my art doesn’t photograph particularly well – I’d love to know your opinion on which image below would work well on an invite.  All comments welcomed…

I am a family

You will never be this free

Oh yeah.  There is nothing like feeling the pull of the paint only minutes after you’ve washed your hands and are onto other things. I can see myself spending a bit of time in the new digs.  White, light and VERY peaceful.  What more could I want?  Maybe an extra couple of square meters, but I can be happy enough without for now.
