The Wreathed Hornbill caught my eye at the Bali Bird Park. Needs some further work so not quite finished. Canvas taken off the stretcher and put in a tube to accompany me back to Sydney with the other artworks. I enjoy experimenting with different subjects. #contemporarypainting #sketchbook #colour
A wonderful day trip to Bali Bird Park. Drawing in our sketchbooks with Lamy pens and gathering information for creative large works back at Villa Nilaya. Visited a lovely silver jewellery workshop on the way home.

Feeling the local vibe walking from my hotel to the retreat 15 mins away. We started the day with some mindfulness at 9 am and finished at 5 pm. Looked after with a delicious lunch and morning and afternoon tea. Totally spoilt🤗.

My new body of work called The Vertical Divide is inspired by cityscapes, exploring structure, rhythm and human present through intuitive plein air sketching. In my studio I transform these impressions into expressive mark-making and layered abstractions using paint, ink, charcoal and collage.
‘No Room To Move’ a work on paper box framed 73 x 55 will be in a group show MERAKI at Ewart Gallery at Willoughby Arts Centre 22 April- 16 May.

Great view over National Art School from the 11th floor of St Vincent’s. Inspiring me in Rehab after a full hip replacement. Can’t wait to be walking long distances again pain free and back in my studio.

Charcoal and ink drawing.
Great tour inside the Opera House looking at the structure and materials. I’m fascinated by architecture part of my DNA visiting building sites as a child and working in the profession.
