Welcome to my shiny new website! I'm very excited for the future of this blog and in my own life as I have a few things in the making and I want to share them all with you. This website will act as my online art portfolio, while also keeping you all up to date on a new social drawing group I will be starting in a couple of locations in the Illawarra region, launching in late March 2017.
Firstly I wish to reveal that I am embarking on a new phase in my life: motherhood! Yes, I am five months pregnant and cannot wait for the arrival of my daughter in June.
Secondly, I have begun taking classes this year at RAVA (formerly the Visual Arts Faculty of West Wollongong TAFE), undertaking 'Experimental Drawing' with Jenny Johnson. Jenny is a marvellous tutor and we have so far developed our techniques in capturing tone in a variety of ways. I will upload some progress shots in my next blog.
Finally, I am looking for expressions of interest from fellow female artists/ illustrators/ art enthusiasts who would like to join me in starting a social night centred around drawing to a theme over dinner! I promise that it will be fun and a great way to try something new. I just love to draw but it can get very isolating being an artist working from home so collaborating and sharing new ideas with other like-minded women in a supportive environment is just the ticket! Feel free to get in touch with me via my 'Contact' page or on Facebook for more info.
I look forward to what the rest of 2017 holds for me and look forward to connecting with you on my new website!
Cheers
