still working away...

Signing my name, ready to hang the works...

My two ghosts and I...

With Norbert Szűk, the organizer of the Novakfalva Residency...

Today I leave behind Győr, the little Baroque town in North-Western Hungary that has been my home for over a year. I venture on to the capital, then Turkey, then Italy, before finally making my way home to sunny summery Sydney in Australia. 

During the next month I doubt I'll be able to update frequently. But I will be in a gorgeous group show in Australia in mid October, so stay tuned for more details!

Art Residency

Between the 4^th and 18^th of September I am one of the invited artists participating in the Novák-falva International Art Residency in Hungary. With artists from South Africa, Himalaya’s in India, and Switzerland amongst others (I represent Australia) this is the fourth (and last) residency to close my year and a half spent in Europe.

This time I veered away from my usual watercolours on paper, and am instead working with acrylic on canvas. I was still determined to achieve the same transparent layers I so love, with a very limited palette.

Here are some shots of my ghosts emerging, revealed from the white fog of the canvas.
