These are the things that excite me : well chosen words, vibrant colours that sing of summer , the compelling rhythm of nature's patterns, blank pages pregnant with possibilities. These are the things that I love: my family, creating, painting, writing, laughing, being.

Painting with emotion

July 14, 2022

Earlier this year in my pastel class we focussed on sharing our emotional reaction to the seasons in our paintings. How do we do that? What does it even mean? Put simply, painting should be more than faithfully reproducing a subject — we should be trying toshare our feelings about the subject so we can … More Painting with emotion

Classic style meets ecoprint

May 8, 2022

Some time ago I was visiting my local recycling center and spotted a chair I just LOVED the shape of. It was in a very poor condition with bright orange covering that was worn, cracked and torn but had beautiful, classic lines and great chrome legs. I bought it then had to borrow a screw … More Classic style meets ecoprint

Painting Spring Landscapes

February 18, 2022

Of all the seasons Spring is the most abundant, full of new growth, flowers bursting forth and covering the landscape with massed colour. It can sometimes be a bit of a sensory overload when it comes to trying to capture all that riotous growth in a painting. You can see what I mean here…the desert … More Painting Spring Landscapes

Painting the wilderness

January 30, 2022

Last week my husband and I walked into Lake Judd in Tasmanian’s South West wilderness area. We’d done it before a few times many years ago when it was a very long, hard slog through boggy mudpits up to our knees. I did not have pleasant memories of the track! Joyously it has had a … More Painting the wilderness

Another piece of botanically printed kangaroo leather made up into a simple bag. Nice calming blues and greens. When I'm teaching absolute beginners in soft pastels I like to give them a quick exercise using B&W fruit and veg images for them to apply pastel over. It's a super fun way of getting them to appreciate that value is more important than local colour. They went on to create some great first paintings. :) Making up some small sets of pastels for my Introduction to Pastels workshop tomorrow at The Colour Circle studio. I love sharing my passion for pastels with beginners! Making progress.. This is one of my entries in the Waterways exhibition If I get it finished in time! #paintingforpleasure #tassieartist #acrylicpaintingoncanvas #acryliconcanvaswip On my easel now. My collagraph group smashed it today ! Here's a few of the bird and garden themed prints. Their first time ever trying this fabulous printmaking technique. #collagraph #collagraphprint #collagraphworkshop #collagraphy #printmaking Under the Sprinkler... Based on a photo of my beautiful and joyful great niece. This will be hanging at the Body and Soul exhibition at The Lady Franklin gallery opening next Sat. #bodyandsoul #ladyfranklingallery #artsocietyoftasmania #tasmanianartist #pastelpainting Finished the bag today with a contrast band, lined with eco printed cotton, added 2 slip pockets, a recessed zipper and an adjustable strap. I used up the small scraps making a matching credit card holder and a keyring. Satisfying day.🙂 #ecoprintingonleather #echoesofnature  #leatherecoprintbag #botanicalprintingonleather #useeveryscrap  #leafandprint #botanicalprinting #contactprinting #leafprinting #botanicalprinting #naturepreserved #naturaldyes  #naturesgifts #sewingday #bagmaking Messing around with some eco printed leather...because this sample was quite small I'm mixing and matching with a sand coloured leather . This is kangaroo leather from @PackerLeather- it's beautifully soft but very strong.
