Blacklight Still Life with Green Figs

Recently I rediscovered my neon art from around 2010 - 2014 and was inspired further upon seeing them lit with a blacklight tube I'd sourced online. Then I happened to see some green figs for the first time - ever - in the local greengrocery and the path for my first completed acrylic/mixed media still life painting for 2023 was set! This painting has been worked on with mixed media elements including metal foil, Swarovski crystal and acrylic paint - both regular and "blacklight" neon colours. The capture below shows the neon UV reactive "blacklight" paint with the black light...

Victorian Artists Society Summer Exhibition 2023

Victorian Artists Society Summer Exhibition 2023

One of my paintings is currently on display to the public at the Victorian Artists Society as part of the Summer Exhibition 2023. My painting was created in 2021 in Nic Chen's  art classes at the VAS before the disruptions caused by the statewide covid lockdowns. Originally exhibited in the VAS Art School and Tutors Exhibition at the VAS that same year, the circuit breaker snap lockdown saw to it that the exhibition stayed closed for the duration of the show. I feel that it is a perfect opportunity now to show the work publicly at this event, which has...

New Peacock Angel Hamsa Art

New Peacock Angel Hamsa Art

After participating in about 8 group exhibitions so far this year, whilst exciting and fun, I have decided to just focus on creating a new body of work back in the studio for awhile. This new hamsa was made following an epiphany, according to an intuitively driven new technique involving 8 curings over a 10 day period. This hamsa is possibly one of the most complex pieces, involving a range of processes that I have made to date. The body of the hamsa has thee separate inner layers which adds an inner strength to the overall piece. The central peacock...

VAS Regional Victorian Visions Exhibition 2022, May 12 - 30

VAS Regional Victorian Visions Exhibition 2022, May 12 - 30

The Meeting Place (Hanging Rock, Macedon) is part of the VAS Regional Victorian Visions Exhibition 2022, a pop up exhibition which has just started at the Victorian Artists Society. It is my first departure away from the momentum I have generated with the fruit still life series which have been selling well at different venues over the past year. The reasons I was interested in painting a scene from regional Victoria now that the Covid restrictions and lockdowns are well behind us, was to reconnect with where I left off first year out of uni many years ago. I had...
