... and I'm participating, again! This time with two posters I prepared for The Santorini Biennale of Arts, a fabulous competition calling for posters with the theme, Design A Wish for Greece. Sadly it was dumped without explanation (or refunds) and the lovely Vasy Petros coordinating the Antipodean Palette exhibition asked if I'd exhibit the prematurely retired entries. The exhibition aims to support [...]

Sunday Style's My_Space feature. April 28, 2013 It was lovely of Joanne Hawkins to come out and meet with us and have her great words published in yesterday's Sunday Style 'My_space' feature. Clearly Zephyr's portrait, by Marija Ivkovic in his classic yogi pose stole the limelight. For those that saw the article, forgive the brag but we did want to send it out [...]
The mail can be so nice sometimes. Another wonderful art surprise this week with notice that my Drying Cutlery will be a finalist piece in the Borough of Queenscliffe's 150th Anniversary Art Awards. There are three galleries displaying finalists and mine will be displayed at Tussock Upstairs. This piece came about when I was on a retreat (from the pain ritual) in Hepburn [...]
I have an art mentor... he is the wonderful Jeff Makin (I know, I know... lucky gal hey?). Jeff and I started, what I would call, art therapy about a year ago now after I attended his life drawing session at the brilliant James Makin gallery in Collingwood. It was Jeff that reintroduced me to Johannes Itten's book The Art of Color and set [...]
Study has been wonderful with Jeff Makin for many reasons, and I intend to resume with it just as soon as I have some reliable capacity so I'm not throwing out my luscious paint and having to clean brushes for a few minutes of activity! One of the very enjoyable aspects of study has been revisiting simplicity. Keep it simple Jeff says and [...]
I couldn't possibly think of a better way to describe what Notcot does so I'm not going to even try (and I'm assuming there aren't many readers who don't know about this brilliant, creative world already) but... just in case you haven't had the experience you simply MUST feel the impact of this site. The official description off the Notcot website is:"NOTCOT is [...]
Lyno thinking (in pinstripe) at the Gertrude Street Enoteca Finalist in the Alice Bale Art Award 2008. Glen Eira City Council. December 2008 This has to be my most favorite portrait of Lynn (ok, that's a little difficult to confirm), but it certainly moves me more than the other paintings... and to think my feeling about the painting was right is added happiness. [...]
The press release below explains this show perfectly. I do have to add a huge thanks however to three dearest people, Theo, Lynn Savery and Michelle Caithness. I could not have produced these works without Theo’s support (and that still goes for most things I do today!). Darling Lyno the chance I got to paint and draw you is icing on the [...]
