I now have representation in Melbourne

I am very happy to announce that I am now represented by Gilligan Grant Gallery in Melbourne. My first solo will be held next year from 23 of February until the 25 of March.

This is very exciting for me and I have already begun working on new paintings for the exhibition. I won't be posting images on the blog of finished works but I will blog about how I'm going and any other news that I might have. I am also planning an exhibition in Brisbane later on in the year but don't have any details about that yet :-)

Happy dance!

Going down to Melbourne next Tuesday to meet with a gallery. I am looking forward to it. I feel like I am finally getting somewhere. Although I can be impatient as I only finished honours last year, sometimes it feels like I am getting nowhere. Having said that... my solo exhibition was the best thing I could have done and I am very glad that I did. I really didn't expect anything to come from it. It was more about runs on the board and getting to work on paintings the way I wanted to.

After a short break I am going to be starting a new project as well as continuing what I was doing this year.

At the end of the year I am participating in a group show with about 54 other artists called Exchange. I will be putting in two paintings (one of which can be seen above) and the other one I am swapping with one of the other artists in the show.
