COMING EXHIBITIONS IN 2010

‘Fields of View’ Exhibition Touring in 2010

My husband, Werner and I, along with three other artists, Leonie Ryan, Peter Biram and Kerrie Warren are taking part in a very exciting project, a touring exhibition titled ‘Fields of View’.  We all feel passionately about the environment and began the theme of the exhibition as one based on our own personal environmental concerns.  After Black Saturday, with each of us being physically and mentally affected by these terrible fires, with Werner and I luckily surviving the inferno, we all agreed to focus our attention to the fires in our exhibition and to express our experiences.

The tour is going to four regional galleries; Maffra (Sale Regional Gallery), Alan Lane Gallery (Warrnambool Regional Gallery), Walker Street Gallery in Dandenong and Maroondah Art Gallery, in Ringwood.

For more information about the exhibition, venues and dates please go to:

NEXT EVENT WILL BE…

There will also be an offical Presentation and 3 course dinner in Queen’s Hall, Parliament House, Melbourne which will take place on Friday the 5th of February, 2010.  We have been invited to display our work in Queen’s Hall during the week leading up to this event.  This dinner will be to launch a new arts movment called ‘Environmental Expressionism’.  In 2003 Peter Biram, a member of the group coined the phrase to describe his own vibrant landscapes and in 2008 formalized this as a vehicle for all artists who have strong physical, social and political views towards the landscape.  You can read the manifesto on this website  www.environmentalexpressionism.com

We welcome you to be part of this celebration, to support the arts and join us for a very special dinner.
