First Sydney Works

oops January

So, I missed doing a January post - things got pretty busy and the month flew.....
The latest news is that I have somehow acquired an art angel :) His name is Leon and it means I have a solo exhibition to get ready for in Sydney at Friends of Leon gallery. It will be opening on Thursday May 13th, not far away and so that explains the busy January. I have made all my cradles and stretched them with linen and the vision is clear in my head, paintings are started and now I look forward to the surprises that making work makes!
Above is a detail from 'milk and rainbows' a painting for the Perth College exhibition in March.
In other news Nazario is getting all his milkymolar teeth in at once! - craziness.... :) and also just generally being either super ridiculously cute and distracting or grizzly and demanding. For this reason I am also super pleased to announce that we have a studio now that is not our lounge room. Hooray!
It is literally 8 houses away and Campbell and I share it with our friend James who is also a painter. Watch out 2010.

The Baby Universe

Here is my work from the milktooth group show at free range. It's called 'The Baby Universe' and it is my first painting of Nazario with a few of his favourite things.

November

This month we organised the Milktooth exhibition at free range gallery and had a stall at the Made On The Left market. We did the poster for the market which was really fun and I love how it turned out :) Campbell and I worked together on the drawings and then he did everything else for the poster, flyers and ads - he is soooo clever xxx
I have also been hunting for studio space (furry trout) and ended up finding something perfect at a neighbours house! Everybody needs good ones.
Milktooth went really well and it was beautiful to see our friends from art school again. Everyone has such busy lives so I am glad we can exhibit together annually to reconnect and be inspired xxx
