Squares 2013

Squares exhibition is on at the moment at Strathnairn.  Beautiful to visit with a delicious cafe and friendly atmosphere.  Unfortunately this year I was a bit off preparing for the exhibition to start 1st of September so I will not be displaying my pieces there as the start date was 9th of August to finish 1st of September.  So here they are commenced yesterday thinking I still had a week but there is still a week to go of the Squares exhibition and there are some great pieces.  Lots of wonderful young artists have contributed this year, we were actually headed out there today because my two little artists seeing me working wanted to contribute their own pieces.  All inspired by Valparaiso and the street art there.

More work to be done on these but not so much impetus to complete in any time frame.

Harrison Art Show

The Harrison Art Show will be accepting entries until the 21st of June for 28th of June exhibition.
$10 per painting with a maximum of five entries.  They also accept sculptures.  $550 dollars in tattoo and piercing credit and cash prizes are on offer.

I know I haven't quite captured the intricate, geometric, serial mass of intermingled and interdependent metal, cement, life and urban living of Rio de Janeiro but this is part of the inspiration for one of the pieces I will be submitting.

Squares

Finally finished.  Squares exhibition will be running from Friday 21st September – Sunday 14th October, 2012.

Exhibitions and Art Prizes

It can be  a challenge to get organised to take part in local exhibitions and art prizes, especially if you are pretty much disconnected from the art scene.  Thanks to the wonderful people on Canetsy I have been able to get ready for inclusion into some great exhibitions this year and have just felt really grateful, nervous and uncertain to get the pieces I have recently completed hung.  As I seem to keep missing or only just getting organised in time I wanted to create a place for me and other disorganised people like me who are just starting to get exhibited.
