New Year 2015

Finished my Masters in November and had my graduating exhibition in December. It was a great way to end my seven years of part-time study at ANU.  I have really enjoyed all of my time there - their approach to flexible learning meant I could go at my own pace and fit the rest of life in as well. Thanks to Greg, Janet, Joanne and Franz!


It was fantastic to see my work in a gallery - looking so different to the way it looks around the studio - you get so used to seeing it in bad light, crowed into corners - it was great to have it all spaced out and to have the pieces relating to each other the way they do in my head.

The large open form at the back was chosen for the exhibition invitation - very exciting.



There were two pieces from 2014 that I really want to take forward. They came closest to representing the kind of tones and textures of landscape that I am interested in:

These are loosely based on the view I have of the forest opposite me on Baragoot Lake near Bermagui and on beachscapes of Baragoot Beach.
