25.01.2022 Don’t buy the cheap art from Vietnam or China that you’ll see in everyone else’s house. Buy an artwork that you connect with, that moves you, that inspires you.... Local artists need your support. Whether it's a piece of artwork they have for sale, or a commissioned piece created especially for you, supporting your local artist will help keep thier business alive. The benefit to you? You perhaps wouldn’t have known about us otherwise and therefore had the pleasure of years of enjoyment from your chosen art. This applies to Artists of all varieties and even more so now. Please prioritise art as Christmas gifts this year. And please help share this to remind everyone that we can support local and support artists
23.01.2022 Kookaburra by #KarenWiseman this huge work nearly a metre high is part of 'Birds of a Feather' a joint exhibition by myself and Jenny Lester Smith opening tonight at 5.30 starting to get nervous, of course I always worry will my work be accepted,, silly stage fright nerves that disappear the moment that first red dot appears I will upload some photos from the exhibition might even try doing a live love you all xxx
23.01.2022 Two months ago I broke my wrist , it was my dominant hand, I tried to hold a pencil but there was no way I could , I was devestated , but I was determined that i wasn’t going to dwell on what I couldn’t do .. So I decided to try something different I had dabbled not to gracefully in watercolour before so with my right hand I started to create , of course I felt mentally and emotionally much better the moment I started creating , but I was also concerned my work was somehow not enough, I know that’s bullshit every Mark I make has its beauty and I am Enough.. So here are some of the works created in lockdown with a broken wrist. But not a broken spirit.. I’d like to share these works with you all .. feel free to share #colourinyourlife Graeme Stevenson

11.01.2022 MY RANT June 2020 I broke my wrist in 3 places it was set by a lady at Horsham Fracture Clinic who did so without any x-ray guidance or confirmation that everyt...hing was in the right place. from the time It came out of the cast my wrist proceeded to get worse and worse not better , ,I had steroids in the joint and my nerve, to no avail. Debilitating nerve pain got worse and worse, I had missed diagnosed opinion's from a physiotherapist suggesting pain management because I couldn't accept my wrist had healed.. Finally the MRI revealed the reason why my arm is now crooked ... The bones in my wrist that were broken should have been pinned and screwed together . Because it wasnt,, the bone has slumped ,collapsed they say and day by day I've worsened as this gap has widened leaving me at present with a 45 mm gap and growing.. I am now facing surgery ,they will cut 45 mm out of my good arm and plate and screw it together hoping to level my arm again and hopefully stop the nerves rubbing across the jagged bone. .if this doesn't work they will fuse my wrist so the wrist will never move again.. Not the news a fine artist needs that's left handed. So this is why I have been quite on many fronts here and my #KarenWisemanAustralianArtist page .. I'm Angry and I will be seeking legal advice on this matter because it has impacted not only my quality of life,my earning capacity, and my ability to be my husbands career.. I have had to put up with so much pain and I'm also perplexed and pissed off that a management desicion not to xray to save fucking money is maiming and disfiguring 1 in 10 people that go to the Horsham fracture clinic .... I wonder How and when did it become acceptable in the lucky country to maim 1 in 10 people knowingly, for the sake of a few dollars .. I'm hoping to have my surgery date next week , I also can't help but think of the elderly and the little kids that can't articulate so well, how they get on ,what they have to live with because of this absolutley unacceptable practice as far as I'm concerned it's malpractice .. I am sick of being in pain I'm on massive dosage of pain relief and it only takes the edge of, I am strong I will fight ,I won't be disabled for the rest of my life, without fighting ... 1 in ten is not acceptable it should be none in ten..

11.01.2022 A bit over a week ago I broke my dominant arm in two places .. I couldn’t know how much my life would change .. First was to get my pain under control , a week later we’re still trying to manage that , to try and stay on top of the pain as I heal.. I am still making marks using my right hand and new ideas are being explored as I play with making my own inks from plants and barks, as well as using earth pigment ,... I am really enjoying this abstract mark making allowing me to be free in my intuitive mark making process.. making my own pigment and inks,,is a blast and I am enjoying doing so, as I use my art as my own therapy , it’s not enough to teach Art fas Therapy you have to walk your talk , and it’s helping me process pain, and frustration.. Sitting still within nature just outside my door , it’s in the stillness we hear what she/Mother is telling us.. I hope you like my abstract art, in a separate post shortly i will post information on how you can access my new art mentor program Art from your Heart this program developed by me and copyright to me will allow you to explore all mediums and genres , so if your new to art you will explore all possibilities so you will know your niche medium you prefer, you will develop your own unique style through the program,, and if you can’t make it that’s fine it will be online as well...watch for the post love you all for being on this journey with me.. Direct message me if you want to book or have any questions in regards to Art from the Heart See more

05.01.2022 Art As Therapy is a wonderful tool to help cope with the shit life throws at you .. I have had the pleasure through Art to be the conduit that connects people to the joy of Art and met some amazing people in the process of connecting to utilise art practices as meditation/ medication.. Since I broke my dominant arm /hand and I couldn’t without great difficulties and pain use a coloured pencil, i was miserable, and in a fit of sniffles I realised I needed to walk my talk, so I started to play with watercolour and found that I really enjoy it and am looking forward to where this journey takes me..After sharing my sketch I was commissioned to do the sketch as a much larger piece .. Have an awesome day my friends xxx
05.01.2022 I have been wondering what I will work on next.. Sorry about the poor quality image taken with my android phone the owl was about 15feet up the tree and the tree about twenty feet away from me through some cattle yards.. After completing a body of work for 'Birds of a Feather' by myself and fellow artist #JennyLesterSmith our exhibition is currently hanging at #Heartfelt till the end of the month.. I was pondering in the post exhibition slump what I would tackle next.. I fe...el that was answered today I just feel so blessed This gorgeous barn owl and its mate live in one of the old sheds, where we live.. The shed used to be the milking shed back in the day, to milk the house cow, with the smithy shop at one end were the farmer could make shoes for the draft horses that were working the land.. The shed lays quite now days, so the barn owls are content with the peace and quite although I disturbed them from their roost, they will go back to their perch in the shed.. See more
05.01.2022 "Is it just me, or is there a strange feeling of, dare I say it....relief at the moment ? Perhaps we are all aware on levels, that humanities trajectory has been unsustainable, emotionally, physically, and environmentally. As serious as this situation is, perhaps there are many who are relieved in some ways that things have slowed... that the planet gets a break, that we have a great reason to go back to being kinder and more mindful, that we have permission to sit in isolati...on, to paint, to read, to look at trees. Perhaps this is a pointing to a version of a future that is more sustainable and fulfilling. I say, its time to paint" ~ Mark Waller The words from #MarkWaller deeply touched my soul as I resonated with them.. #StayHomeSavesLivesearth #workinprogress #KarenWiseman See more

02.01.2022 'Feeding Time' KarenWiseman Was created in response to time in lockdown due to the #covid_19 pandemic.. This image came to me through a friend, and although not my own image as I normally work from, and although not native flora and fauna of Australia,,, the moment I saw this image the narrative within isolation, unfolded.. Although not my photo, it was my narrative ... For the most part I have enjoyed the lockdown, the slower pace, the extra time with my darling husband, e...xtra uninterrupted time in the studio, and extra time for reflection/meditation/prayer. This beautiful big Drawing @60x90cm is large enough to be a statement piece of quality original art, yet still moderate enough in size to compliment your decor without overpowering it. ..
