Our exhibition at The Cottage, up in Brooklyn, ended last weekend and again I’d like to extend my thanks to Kelli and the other Cottage volunteers who have done so much not only for us, but for the local community up there in keeping this lovely venue up and running.
Getting that exhibition happening has consumed so much of my life these past six months and so, as lovely as it was, there’s a wonderful lightness that has come with its closing. That doesn’t mean there’s much of a break, as there’s always so much to be involved with in the art world. A number of my works are now in Katoomba, part of the exhibition ‘Art in the Mountains’ at Gallery One88. Vic and Sharon run a fabulous gallery there in Katoomba Street, with the adjoining café as well as their downstairs performance venue, Pigeon Lane. And of course winter is the perfect time to head for the Blue Mountains – for the day, the weekend or an extended stay – so if you’re heading out there, stop in to Gallery One88! The photo above is one I took many years ago while I was there.
For the first time, I’ll also be taking part in the Lindfield Art Show and Fair. Now in its 47th year, this is run by the Holy Family Catholic Primary School Parents and Friends Team. Details for this, and other shows I’m currently involved in, are below.
