Hi Everyone,
It has been a long time since I have written a blog and a lot has been happening.
Firstly I wanted to sincerely thank those of you who came to my Biggest Morning Tea Fundraiser. It was a wonderful, humbling morning and I am always amazed by how much money we raise by simply sharing a cup of tea. This year we raised over $1.300. So very special.
I had the real pleasure of being Artist in Residence in the beautiful wheatbelt country town of Beverley. For two weeks in June I soaked up the fresh country air, enjoyed the stunning scenery and painted to my heart’s content. It was a fabulous and rewarding experience so I have booked to go again next year.

I will be conducting an Abstract Watercolour and Mixed Media Mark Making Workshop at Jacksons Balcatta Store. Friday 3rd September 2021. 10am- 2.30pm. Full details are on Jacksons website www.jacksons.com.au.

UPCOMING EXHIBITIONS
I am entering into lots of country exhibitions at the moment. Being a country girl I love to support these exhibitions. I will briefly mention them and if you need more information please keep an eye on my Instagram and Facebook pages (stephanieboyleart) or google the Exhibition.

I am also participating in the Mandurah Plein Air Painting Festival. 25th - 27th September. Plein air painting is painting outside what you see in front of you as opposed to painting in the comfort of your studio. It can be challenging to deal with the elements but it is something I love to do. It also helps improve my painting skills.
I hope you are all keeping well in this strange and uneasy times we have found ourselves living in. I know I am extremely lucky as an Artist and I really feel very grateful to have my own studio where I can retreat and blissfully create. Thank you once again for your continued support and interest in my Art practice.
Cheers for now
Stephanie
