Time to get back to work! I'm so excited to be moving into a new studio this week. Our beautiful Heidelberg press resides at our home in the hills,  but all of the drawing, printing and ideas work will now be happening in the Murwillumbah studio.  The best part of being in the town studio this year will be the people I'm surrounded by; all unique mentors in their own way and all marvellously inspiring and endlessly creative. I can't wait to see what work comes from all of this positive energy. Is your studio a ball of electric energy or are you the country mouse motivated by solitude and peace?

Memory Stack

last day of summer, cool iced coffee in a cool place, inspired by the energy of a dear friend, dashing in tutus, icy-poles and weaving roads, a busy studio stacking papers for women who run with scissors........

a glimpse of one hot day

soon to be a stack of memories

a memory stack?

  

I love poems that don't rhyme

I love the disjointed, the little shock, the yuck/yum.  It makes me smile when things are not quite right, slightly off to one side, so unmistakably wrong, so unpalatable that they are delish. I like fluro yellow next to beige, strange colour upsets, a beautiful discord, a slipped finger, a wrong note played. I love the imperfect and the lop-sided, the dropped and the smudged, the rained on and the eye-sore.


A teacher once referred to me as "disjointed", my mother panicked but I smiled a deep smile, brushed my ponytail aside and wore it with pride.

one cool day

a cool day, cool music, cool things happened in the studio and i was happy..........
