It was very exciting to see Reformation featured in this months Art Almanac and Australian Art Guide!
If you're free on Tuesday the 10th of April, from 5.30pm, Reformation will be opening at First Site Gallery (Melbourne) and it would be lovely to see lots of people there!
The exhibition shall run for two weeks following the opening.
I feel very excited to be exhibiting in such a public gallery with seven amazing artists- Kaitlyn Gibson, Luke Boslem, Tricia Page, Heather Ogilvie, Sara Crotty and Ellen Fairbairn.
More information and a proper press release shall be put up onto this blog in a day or two... time just seems to be running out at the moment! Details can also be found on the galleries Facebook page:

My time has been spent focusing on new ideas and a new body of work. I have been exploring the depths of night and complexities of visual darkness and the connections between doilies and mandalas.
My doily paintings have evolved to ephemeral works, using flour. These are an attempt to explore the meditational and cyclic nature of making and of life and time.
A sneak peak at the beginning of a commission for Textile Artist, Carla Dawes:

I shall post more photographs of this new work shortly.
ALSO, am slowly building up a little body of work exploring the process of repainting one of my doily/mandala paintings as many times as possible... an attempt to address the issue of meditation through repetition:
Recently I enrolled in, Footsteps of the Impressionists- a two week study tour in Paris in July with my lovely friend, and fellow artist, Sara Crotty. I will then stay in Paris for an extra week by myself.
I can't wait to traipse around Parisian Galleries, eat lots of croissants and drink lots of wine!!!
I'm blessed at the moment to have many exciting new possibilities, despite all the craziness!!
