Since last month I’ve received a couple of good bits of art news – the first was that one of my Waratahs (pictured above), from my Anthophilia series, was accepted as part of the ‘Women in Art’ exhibition at the AAD Gallery (in collaboration with Shazia Imran Gallery) in Sydney’s historic Rocks. The gallery itself is in one of The Rocks’ most noted heritage sites – the Old Coroner’s Court (look for the beautiful old red phone box outside!), and the exhibition will be a collection of 21 pieces of art, all created by emerging or established female artists, to celebrate International Women’s Day. Just a short walk from Circular Quay Station, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Overseas Passenger Terminal, and with The Rocks being such a favourite for visitors and Sydney locals alike, I hope you might be able to head in while the exhibition is showing (8–22 March). If you do, and you’re partial to a delicious French pastry (as I am), I would recommend La Renaissance in Argyle Street!
The other bit of news was the Hangers Award, which I received from the team of hangers at Wallarobba, where the Hornsby Art Society was hosting their annual Volunteers’ Exhibition. This award was for a miniature (Capertee Valley), which I’d done for my series ‘From Parkes to Paris’.
For now, I’m preparing for my next show at Marie-France, which will be a number of the paintings from ‘Anthophilia’ (details below).
