March
2006 I joined a group of artists who paint at Ellis House Community Art Centre in Bayswater. A beautiful old heritage house near the river. I am finding it really encouraging to work along side a group of artists. Derna Johnson runs the centre and she regularly organises exhibitions of our work in the gallery space. There is also a monthly art market held on the first Sunday of the month.
This
month I worked on the Pomegranate series,
paintings filled with personal symbolism relating to my journey through
infertility. These paintings were exhibited and sold through Exomod Café in
January-February
2006
The
big adventure begins. In December I quit my job as Assistant Publisher at
Fremantle Arts Centre Press and started life as a full-time professional
artist. There was a great deal to organise including the creation of this
website. Produced by my biggest fan, my husband Scott.
I worked on three pieces in the first couple of months: Enchanting, Moth Love and
Nyanda. All three pieces combine my
love of colour, text and personal stories.
