Church mezzanine studio corner Pending, suspended in the air feels appropriate right now while Theo and I settle into our new life in Queenscliff. I'm upstairs in my new corner studio. I've opted for a small contained space... just until I get on my feet. [...]
Am I Streeton inspired? Of course! And as the gallery Director of QG&W I not only had the privilege to place myself as part of the Streeton Prints artists in residence project but I also felt I needed to - a kind of practice to my preach. With Theo as my printer (and my little bit more) I'm finally looking forward to [...]

A huge thanks to those who were able to attend and for those who [...]

Artists are invited to interpret the exhibition theme in any way they feel. A payable fee covers advertising material, framing, exhibition expenses and - the best bit - an archival box for each artist containing [...]

My Gertrude Streetscape (Southside Plate 2), Little Smith Street Fitzroy & Nude laying Prone, were three of the 70+ pieces selected from 300 pieces to be included in The Geelong College Art Show. I was pretty honored to be hanging with a great various group of artists and [...]
Finding themselves at a life crossroad, creative directors Soula and Theo Mantalvanos of ooi - creative communication, decided to grant themselves four months of thinking time on the East Coast of Tasmania.
