“Those who dwell among the beauties and mysteries of the earth are never alone or weary of life”

Rachel Carson

Drawn then printed and cutout roughs. Affectionately nicknamed ‘toil’ ‘bubble’ and ‘double double’ for the moment.
Pencil on paper. The Rococco has loomed large in spirit and color palette for this upcoming work. Rococco from ‘rocaille’ literally means shell covered rock work that covered artificial grottos. But that was a meaning i stumbled upon.

Margaret River Regional Open Studios – the third time around- Sept 11-25th 2021

My little studio set amidst the headlands of Cowaramup Bay on Wadandi Boodja is in Open Studios again. I will be mid prep for this looming exhibition in March 2022 at Bunbury Regional Art Gallery and am really looking forward to feedback on the works in progress to see how they re movin and shakin along. Here are some testers I just got fresh today off the roll….
