I’m excited to be preparing for a group artist residency in August, joining Kylie Harries, Mel Brady and Shan Michaels at the Dayboro Showgrounds. I’m playing around with ideas, thinking about what to take with me into the space. So looking forward to it!

Before Fresh Eyes closes I will be hosting a hands-on workshop at the Redcliffe Art Gallery exploring how intentional design can turn simple, limited materials into compelling collages. Read more…

This year has been busy, challenging, surprising and very fruitful. Art and art making is taking me on a journey of discovery about myself and the world. I am truly thankful!

Toward HOME review by Julie Purcell! Julie writes a juicy, nutrient dense newsletter, Modconned. She is an artist and a writer and woman of many talents! One of my favourite paintings of hers is the small, oil painting from the Space Cadets series that was in the Moreton Bay Art Prize in 2024. Read the review on Julie’s website here…

Our first zine to celebrate the exhibition of art lab artists at the Hub Gallery, Caboolture. Produced by Guthrie with contributions from all the artists.

AHA! moments are those in which a jolt of understanding or realisation is a sort of revelation. I think these moments are one of the pleasures of making things. They mark a growth of sorts and I believe they are integral to the process of creating. This exhibition is a showcase of works by Art Lab artists who visit my studio each month to talk about art and art making. Those aha moments that we experience, through conversation and connection are one of the reasons why Art Lab has become so important to me. It’s a privilege to be able to show our work at The Hub Gallery in Caboolture with the support of the staff at Caboolture Regional Gallery and City of Moreton Bay. Here’s a peak!

Bump in day! Toward HOME with Kylie Harries, Rachel South, Sarah O’Neill, Mel Brady and me! They won’t be upside down and back to front when they’re finally on the wall!

Andy drove the truck and thank goodness because the terrain was pretty rough. But oh my the adventure was worth it!

And this is why it is called golden hour when even with freezing fingers in the frigid cold of early morning something magical happens!

I’m a sucker for infographics and here is a how to for Art Lab…

Aha Moments! is a forthcoming exhibition at the Hub Gallery, Caboolture Regional Art Gallery. It centres around Art Lab and the artists who have participated for the past three years, meeting at my studio to talk about all things art and art making! Making connections and participating in deep discussions about art with other artists has been one of the joys of Art Lab. Not to mention the ready support and mutual learning that enriches our practices. Come and see work by Ann Gillespie, Helen Evans, Ulrike Foerster, Kimberly Marston, Lucie Verheltz, David Cross, Grace Cross, Guthrie and of course, me! During the exhibition we will be sharing our work, our experiences, the concept of Art Lab through artist talks and open Art Lab sessions.

I have a new respect for landscape photographers who travel far and wide, early and late to find landscapes untouched by human activity. I’m playing with grainy b&w film photos turning a perfectly ordinary roads into mood and mystery.

Made a mistake winding on the film of my 40 year old Pentax K1000. However…I’m kinda liking this 20 times over layered exposure. So now I’m playing around with that idea even though I don’t really know what I’m doing!
