Well, Helpmann is over, and one of my large drawings (“Furry on the Inside”) sold, which is always a bonus as an artist! I am also honoured to have been selected as one of four artists from South Australia to be part of the National Graduate Exhibition “Hatched 2012”, to be held at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. The work that has been selected to make its way to Perth is one of my most recent sculptural works “Pelt”, which was created late 2011

I have also just moved into a new studio space with artists Patty Chehade, Liz Butler and Sarina Diakos, where I’m sure the creativity will be bouncing off the walls (and possibly into the childcare centre next door), and am currently working on some new drawings and sculptural work to be shown later on this year, so keep your eyes, ears, and inboxes peeled!!
