special invitation - Artist by Artist

Please receive this special invitation and help me celebrate the official launch of ABC Open and the Queensland Arts Council premiere screening of Artist by Artist.



Seeing the text above is probably going to be too small to read - I have cut'n'paste for you... Many friends and family have rsvp'd already and I am looking forward in seeing you there.

"The Artist by Artist project is collaboration between ABC Open and the Queensland Arts Council where 20 Queensland based artists were challenged to produce video stories capturing the creative forces that drive their fellow artists.


The result is 20 beautifully told and inspiring vignettes: artists’ lives through artists’ eyes.
Come and meet the Sunshine Coast artists, see their films on the big screen and celebrate ABC Open’s 1st year and 50 years of the Queensland Arts Council."


Thursday 3rd November 6 – 8.30pm The J. 60 Noosa Drive, Noosa Heads

Small Works / Small Town + BIG crowd!

Last night's opening exhibit SMALL WORKS / SMALL TOWN saw a HUGE crowd - it was my first time at an opening for Rosebed St Gallery and far out what a crowd, it was packed!



All gathered to celebrate the official opening,




...with drinks and nibbles downstairs, in anticipation the doors were finally opened for all to view and purchase artworks.




And look who I found in the crowd! Good buddy and also exhibiting artist Jo Murray



Designed as a takeaway art show loads of artworks were literally walking out the door! Sales were shared all round, Jo and I both sold work. It was fantastic some artists were even needing to re-stock the empty spaces.

opening night

It's a busy time at the moment, and I've had no posts on art being made -it's all been about what's happening and where. I'm really missing my making time but I guess that's the ebb and flow of things. The whole idea of it I suppose is to exhibit and sell, as much as I'd like to keep everything I make...


I have posted this photo before - the day has arrived! The official opening of the SMALL WORKS / SMALL TOWN Exhibit Friday 28th Oct 6.30pm - Rosebed St Gallery, Eudlo.


I really like this piece "Unicorn" and it's story on how it evolved. A funny thing, I had this piece of steel (the body part) for ages and nothing was coming to me, I knew that something was in it but no matter how many times I picked it up and contemplated it - mental block!!! Anyhows, I let it go. Then one morning while reading "Psychology and Alchemy" by C. G. Jung, he made reference to unicorns in alchemy, and out of the blue I saw the unicorn in the piece of steel. I whipped out of bed and took off for the bit of steel and presto, the Unicorn was formed!




To my supprise the invite features my Unicorn and makes it even more special...
