It’s been another busy week. Last weeks markets were amazing and I felt very supported as an artist 💖 we are so lucky to have so many fabulous markets in our local area.
I’ve now finished four new little paintings that have now gone to the Sawtell Art Gallery for their annual art exhibition that opens at the end of this month.
I’ve (also) starting painting three more new still life designs ready for the The Art Space Urunga winter exhibition also opening towards the end of this month.
This weekend I’m returning to the Beachside Markets - South West Rocks for the first time since I have returned from my time in Tasmania.
On Sunday I will be at my hometown market, the beautiful Urunga Riverside Market …..the little market with a big heart 💖

Just letting you all know that tomorrow I will all set up at the Valla Beach Community Markets and then on Sunday I will be back at the Harbourside Markets in Coffs Harbour.
This last few weeks I have been busy painting and preparing several little paintings for the upcoming Sawtell Art Gallery Annual Art Exhibition and the The Art Space Urunga members winter exhibition.
Mum, Oren and I are still getting together most Fridays for a clay play day and at the moment we are working on making a Sci Fi themed totem pole for my brothers garden….watch this space for more photos.
Have a happy and safe Kings Birthday weekend everyone 🩷

See you soon 😃

A wet weather forecast for this weekend has changed all my plans but given me the opportunity to put the time at home to good use working on a few creative projects I’m enjoying 💖
Next weekend I’ll be at the Yamba River Markets if we weather behaves and the market goes ahead ☀️

Good morning everyone 🥰 Tomorrow I will be back at the Urunga Riverside Market after all our galavanting around Tasmania…..I’ve been so looking forward to getting back to this one 🩷

We are having some renovations at home at the moment so my art room is out of bounds for me for a few weeks but I managed to finish my three incognito pieces before I was locked out. I’ve scanned them so that after the paintings have sold I will release cards and prints of the new designs.

Don’t forget to start browsing the Incognito Art show website, there is so much beautiful original art uploaded on there already and the sale starts in June. This year there will be three separate sales, Sydney, Brisbane and Townsville. The website is very easy to navigate and all art pieces are for sale @ $100 per piece. All money raised goes towards projects for artists with disabilities.

I have a new print out and it will be with me tomorrow. It’s called “The Handmade Mandala” with cards coming soon.

So my market itinerary this month is:

Urunga tomorrow
Bellingen Community Markets Saturday 16/05
Gladstone Quality Market Sunday 17/05
Yamba River Markets Sunday24/05
If all goes to plan I will be back at the Harbourside Markets on the 31/05

Enjoy the sunshine ☀️
