I’m absolutely shocked to see that I haven’t posted here since last October!

It probably isn’t fair to blame visiting relatives over Christmas. It’s more to do with having to arrange some major work around the house, not to mention getting lost on other social media places.

Since I last posted, I have had a piece of my work, called ‘Pasture’, hung in the first exhibition of the newly formed Australian Walking Artists group. The piece is based on my travels to the United Kingdom in 2023. I was interested to see what if any connection I had with the country my family migrated from in the 19th century.

The Australian Walking Artists group is a very exciting development for me. It has given me a place where I can develop ideas that started to be realised as I walked the Camino de Santiago in 2023. There will be a further exhibition later in the year in another regional town in New South Wales. It’s such an inspiration to be working with a group of like-minded artists.

Apart from that, I have been working on my latest YouTube videos. I fell down that hole during COVID lockdown, and I have found making videos, frustrating,  time-consuming, and rather addictive. I have discovered that I love editing, even though it’s often like wrestling an octopus while trying to organise a fancy dinner party 🥳 (my computer suggested that emoji). I’m not a big fan of sudoku, so I had to do something else.

Here’s a link to the latest video, just in case you need to learn how to use transparent paints with your gelli plate to print onto fabric.
