When I last wrote, ‘Shared Spaces’ – our exhibition at Be Brave Artspace in Avalon on Sydney’s northern beaches – was about to open. Now it’s about to close. Nita, Kate, Simone, Vicki and I all agreed our pieces came together like they were made for each other, and our thanks go to Tina for doing such a beautiful job of curating. Our opening night was really well attended (thanks so much to everyone who came along) and we hope those who have been since have enjoyed what they’ve seen. Feel free to contact me at manina@bigpond.com if you’d like to see or buy any of my work. I can also put you in touch with the others.
I’m very excited to share news that my pieces from Shared Spaces will be moving on to Sous le Soleil in the new year. Sous le Soleil is a really beautiful French restaurant and shop in Roseville on Sydney’s north shore, so if you missed our exhibition, treat yourself to breakfast, lunch or dinner, and after you’ve eaten, enjoy a wander through the shop.
Before then is ‘A Little Brave’, again at Be Brave Artspace. ‘A Little Brave’ is a big end-of-year exhibition with works submitted from over 30 artists. It opens on 30 November and will run through until mid-January. Now seems a good opportunity to send a huge thanks to the lovely staff at The Art Scene in Ryde – Kim and the others (both in the shop and behind the scenes) always do such a beautiful job framing my paintings.
And lastly, if you’re lucky enough to be planning a trip to Tasmania before Christmas, the Australian Society of Miniature Art (Tas.) is holding their annual awards exhibition from 28 November to 22 December at The School House Gallery in Rosny Farm, and four paintings of mine will be hanging there. There’s something really gorgeous about miniature art, so I would encourage you to get along to that one if you’re in the area.
Until next month.
