Life has been hectic lately filled with many Arty activities but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Chan Dissanayake Workshop
My friend, Cass Gartner and I had organized a 5 day workshop with the fabulous world renowned Watercolour Artist Chan Dissanayake. The first three days were in Perth, studio painting then we moved to York for 2 days of plein air painting. The participants really appreciated the delicious lunch Cass and I provided at the studio workshop. It is like being on a relaxing Art retreat where you can totally immerse yourself in enhancing your painting skills. Chan proved to be a wonderful teacher with excellent knowledge and skills that he willingly shared.
Artist in Residence/ Narrogin
I was delighted to spend a week in Narrogin in April as Artist in Residence. I was born in Narrogin Hospital and grew up on a wheat and sheep farm at Dudinin. I felt very much at home and loved getting out and about each day to do some plein air painting. The space is set up beautifully so I am hoping to return in the future.
