I have been very very busy over the past number of weeks. Busy working on the preparations for my very first solo exhibition. After having my artwork selected and shown in over 65 national and international exhibitions during the past three years . . . the time has come to go it alone! All very exciting!
The exhibition will showcase many of my miniature artworks, these will include images of forests, myths, petals, icebergs and abstract.
The gallery itself is a terraced former corner shop making it an intimate one room space - perfect for small works.
The little print off to the right titled 'Octopus', is one which will be included in the exhibition. There is a wealth of narrative tales and mythology that encircles the octopus. Of giant terrifying beasts that sink ships to erotic tentacled seducers with carnal desires and when threatened will disappear into an inky pool that also serves to scare. My little octopus is currently in hiding having just released his inky camouflage in hope of being scary.
'Petals Orange' is another work which will be included, this work was selected for exhibition in Bulgaria last year. Floating petals always remind me of autumn days of petals swirling and floating about in the wind with dappled sunlight shining through. You will note that the imagery of floating petals features in a number of my works from small to large.
In all I will have some 50 or so works on show and available for purchase. A number will be framed with the majority presented already matted, ready for framing.
The exhibition opens
Saturday 21st July 2-5pm at 'Regard Gallery' 372 Wilson Street Darlington, NSW.The following Saturday 28th July 2-4pm, I will be at the gallery demonstrating printmaking and discussing the processes involved in the making of the prints on exhibition.

Very pleased to say that my work has been again accepted for exhibition at Lessedra Gallery in Sofia Bulgaria. The work which will be on show are the images of scribbly gum featured in 'Eucalyptus rossi' shown in an earlier post.
