117. Inside my Solo Exhibition at Art Gallery of Ballarat

Hi friends and welcome to episode 117.  It’s been a wild month for me as I’ve had my second solo exhibition, ‘An Ornamental Education’ running here at the art gallery of Ballarat.  It’s been an incredible ride having my first exhibition at a public art gallery and I wanted to make sure that I shared it with you before it ends on 14thApril. I’ve created a full guided tour for you on my YouTube channel. I really hope you head on over there to check it out, because the audio for this episode makes a whole lot more sense when you can see the artwork.  But nevertheless, I know that many of you prefer to listen rather than look while painting in the studio, so I wanted to make it available to you here on the podcast as well.  I’ll be sure to leave the link to the video in the show notes so you can check that out too.  This episode also includes an absolutely brilliant address given by my dear friend and fellow artist, Dr Louisann King.  at the opening celebration held at the gallery on 8th March, which also happened to be International Women’s Day.  It was so incredibly eloquent and brought so much depth and understanding about this body of work, that I really wanted to include it in full.    I also just wanted to mention, that in May and June I’m teaching my first in-person  2 day painting workshops since before Covid. I’m running them with the beautiful crew at Artable in May and June.  The workshop on the Gold Coast in June has sold out, which is wonderful.  But there are still a few spots available at my Melbourne workshop on 4th and 5th of May.  So if you’d like to learn how to paint in my signature bright, floral abstract style, be sure to click on the links below.
