A BRUSH WITH JAPAN exhibition, 8 August to 13 September 2015

I am a member of The Australian Society of Miniature Art and have had one of my watercolours accepted into their upcoming A BRUSH WITH JAPAN exhibition which will showcase work by ASMA members in a broad range of media inspired by the Gosford Edogawa Commemorative Garden which is located adjacent to the Gosford Regional Gallery, 36 Webb Street, East Gosford, where the exhibition is being held. The opening will be at 2pm, Saturday 8 August and the exhibition will run from 8 August to 13 September 2015.

LIQUID LIFE exhibition, 5 weeks to go!

I have been busily working towards this joint exhibition with my cousin, Central Coast artist, Tracey Scheitel, and last week took quite a few artworks to my framer, Koru Framing Studio, so well on the way. I have also designed the invitation for the opening night at the Shorethyme Restaurant/Gallery on Tuesday 1 September 2015 so that will be sent to the printer later this week.

Over the weekend I started work on a few new pieces that I will be finishing off during the week so they can also go off to the framer, making progress!

Last weekend, 11 & 12 July, my husband Jamie and I visited my cousin and fellow artist, Tracey Scheitel, and her husband Toby where they live at Wyongah on the NSW Central Coast. We had a very productive time discussing what Tracey and I are both currently working on for our upcoming joint exhibition, titled LIQUID LIFE, and what we need to do over the next 7 weeks. Many of Tracey’s works are quite large and therefore not able to be scanned on a flatbed scanner so Jamie took his camera and tripod so he could photograph all the work Tracey has completed so far.

While our styles, mediums and ways of working are very different, we have the common theme of ‘water’ for this exhibition so this could be anything at all from a beach scene through to a cup of tea! Water is everywhere in our lives and virtually in everything so plenty of subjects to choose from and be inspired by.

Here is one of my watercolours, River Reflections, that I will be showing in the LIQUID LIFE exhibition at Shorethyme.

Here is Tracey working in her wonderful, large studio space at her home in Wyongah, and below, some of her work that Jamie photographed over the weekend that she will be showing in our LIQUID LIFE exhibition.

This exhibition which will be opening on Tuesday 1 September 2015 at the Shorethyme Restaurant/Gallery at Norah Head on the NSW Central Coast and I will be updating details about this and blogging on my progress in the coming weeks. http://www.shorethymerestaurant.com.au
