I never thought I would say this but its taken me several months to make this decision. I’ve decided to retire from the art industry indefintely and focus on my writing and teaching career and my aspirations for motherhood. I thought maybe I could use my art career as a springboard for my writing career but to be honest I...
It's sad but true. I have lost my drive to be an exhibiting visual artist. I'm in a rut and I've decided to make No Place Like Home my last exhibition for a while. As I move further into my thirties I will probably have less time to have exhibitions as well. I've decided to listen to my intuition and...
In the past year I haven't had a lot of exhibitions. I was planning on having two a year but as of recent I've found that I need to take a break. A lot has happened in my life as far as life events go but I've also gone into a rut again as far as being an artist...

First of all I am planning my wedding with my partner which is really exciting because now I will be officially...
As I have mentioned in a previous blog post, I have been getting into native australian plants as research for my creative practise. Although this started out as an environmental componenant for my practise, it has also become an unexpected passion. My garden is filled with free and bought native plants, flowers and a few veges to go into our...
For years I felt like I had no power or privacy from family members until I realised that knowledge is power.
