Wow! What can I say... So I decided this year that I wanted to try and take more artworks to this year's show. It was my 2nd time entering, and since I am now in the full swing of things I thought I might give some different categories a go. There were so many to choose from. I think the most challenging one of them all was my artwork 'Brine & Shine'. Since I sm mostly know for my animal portraiture, this was something completely different. It was a colour pencil Still life of a can of sardines. I so thoroughly enjoyed creating this artwork, that I now want to do more still life's.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think something would come of it, since the artwork is very unique,  and I thought people will either love it, or hate it.  Well...to my surprise!  Brine & Shine WON 2nd place! And it SOLD straight away!  What a wonderful feeling 😌 ✨️  I was on cloud 9. Over all it was a fantastic show.  I took 6 artworks of which 5 were SOLD ❤️ It has been so inspiring! I will definately be back next year.  Artworks taken to Sydney Royal Easter Show: Sapphire Splendour ( colour pencil ) - SOLD $450 Embracing Flight - ( water colour ) - SOLD $780 Brine & Shine - ( colour pencil )- SOLD $680 The Gang - (colour pencil ) - SOLD $1250 When you hear the Call - ( colour pencil ) - Not sold.  Now it's onto my next exibition,  which will be in Bendemeer from 1 May - 3 May 2026.  I still need to make 2 artworks, so I will get cracking! 

So happy to say, that Winmark - Vineyard & Accommodation Art Gallery will be showcasing some of my artworks 🤩❤️Feeling so overwelmed with gratitude 🥹So happy and excited to be given the oppertunity to share my art with more people.And obviously we had to do the wine tasting and get a cheese platter in celebration 🥂🧀 and I can seriously recommend! It was such a lovely morning out with hubby ❤️ Go visit Winmark winery and enjoy a beautiful sculpture walk, art gallery, and some stunning wine tasting!  Address : 9 Wollombi road,  Broke, NSW 2330

Well...this is embarrassing.  I have been a full time artist for over a year now, and I never had a logo!  Now, it's not that I didn't try. It was just so difficult to think of anything.  I blame Artist Brain. So today was the day! I sat down and decided that I need to do this. And I have to say, I did ask for some counselling from my lovely Facebook friends ❤️ After a couple of samples, I landed on this one. And I really like it. The picture is of my very first bird portrait I did called 'Little Blue'. I felt that he would resonate with a wider audience. I also LOVE neutral colours, hence the background.  And now I can finally start working on my branding. Yay!  It was a very productive day 😁

I was so honoured on the 18th of October 2025❤️I got invited to the Scone Grammar School to their beautiful art show, and WOW! There are super talented youngsters! It was so inspiring. And the little mini artworks were fabulous! I bought 5 😄 I just couldn't resist.Thank you SO much Anna Towse and Shereen Butters.You hosted a lovely event. I was asked to say a couple of words... I was quivering my little ballet shoes to say the least😅  You can find the video on my facebook at : https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1YkW13HCDs/ Please excuse the audio...🫣

So it has been a very busy week creating new jesmonite prodructs.  They have been a great hit! And they make perfect gifts for anyone who just loves to decorate their space.  Each one is so unique and totally 'one-of-a-kind' ❤️  Handmade by myself , and double sealed with an acrylic sealer, so they are water and scratch resistant. I am absolutely in love with the process of making these, and I hope you will come check them out.  

It's another beautiful spring weekend here in Murrurundi, and there is a lot of excitement around the 'King of the Ranges' event happening only a couple blocks from my art gallery.  It has been really lovely seeing so many new faces, and from so many different parts of the Hunter. This weekend I introduced 'Little Silver' - a Graphite sketch of a young Brahman calf, as seen in the photo. I wanted to try out some new tools that I bought recently, and I have to say, that I thoroughly enjoyed creating this piece. There are a lot of little details when you look closely.  I have been working very hard on creating new artworks to fill up the empty spots that has been left after the Opening Day. 😅 And I cannot thank everyone enough for all the kind words of encouragement and support.  I will be releasing 2 new paintings in the next 2 weeks, which I am very excited about! So watch this space!  Talk again soon!
