I currently have an exhibition of new and recent watercolours and linocut prints on display and for sale at the pop-up shop Mia O Designs, Shop 14, Level 1, The Italian Forum Leichhardt. My artwork, along with a range of contemporary jewellery by local jewellery designers, will be in the shop till the final trading day on Sunday, April 13. Below is a photo of the shop and a few of my images on display.

To celebrate the shop’s success, this Saturday, April 5, from 3-5pm there will be special Farwell & Thank You event for family, friends and supporters of the shop so please come along to support local artists and designers.

And it’s not long now till Mother’s Day so maybe you might find that very special original gift for Mum too!

A good night was had by all last Friday night at The Marrickville Golf Club, March 28, for the exhibition and awards of the Old Cooks River Bridge Art Prize. The art prize was open to local school kids, artists & photographers to create a work to celebrate the life of the old timber bridge that runs across the Cooks River between Marrickville and Earlwood. For my entry I decided to do a close-up detail view of lichen growing on the old wooden bridge planks rendered in watercolour, graphite and colour pencil. As you can see in the photograph below of some of the works on display, the photographer who entered the photo above my artwork took a shot in almost exactly the same place I used for my reference! Here is my entry which didn’t win any prizes on the night but has been sold so really pleased with that. Congratulations to The Marrickvile Golf Club and organiser Juliet Barr for a great community event.
