Rebuilding in 2024

2024 is shaping up to be a year of rebuilding and restoration. After 4 years of slowdown and lockups, my mind is beginning to see a bright future ahead. As an artist and explorer of the outback,

I found it depressing indeed to be unable to roam the landscape I love freely. It was a challenge to be inspired however, I managed a few milestones but a lot of 'connections' were lost. My outback travels over my life have helped me see clearly the problems we face and I have tried to gently bring attention to these over my arts career.

My environmental artworks were exhibited in Mexico, Italy and Canada along with Bathurst and Orange Regional Galleries in invitation only exhibitions over recent years. The theme I pursue and has been close to my heart has been an exploration of climate issues and the environmental damage we have wrought on the planet. More on my new website.

My artworks can now be found at the Gang Gang Gallery in Lithgow, a wonderful space and a delightful Director and curator. Two works are currently in the "Director's Collection' on show until the end of March. I will be holding a workshop on 'Versatile Acrylics' there on 21 March. Bookings need to be made through the gallery.

And I am also available from the Peisley Street Gallery in Orange. You can find details of my recent solo  show "Drylands - sacred ground" on their website if you missed it and are curious of the artworks included in that exhibition. Should you wish to purchase any of the works, then please make enquiries to the gallery. 

Finally, can I say that I believe the world is in danger of falling apart if we don't come back to loving all human beings as equals and as fellow travellers along the road of life. It is time we all shared our differences proudly as we all have relevant pieces in the great puzzle of life. Let us share and care for this earth, our home, together as one family.
