25.01.2022 They say to grow where you're planted, but with one foot in each culture, how can she do that? This is the last of the Falling Through the Cracks images that I’m going to show for now. Keep the June long weekend 2021 free to come and see the exhibition. #fallingthroughthecracks #crossculture #ungrounded #artisnotcancelled #exhibitionpostponed #bluemountainsnsw #bluemountainsartist #bluemountainsactors #balmainwatchhousegallery #adobephotoshop #nikond610 #jointexhibition #headdressbylivonne #styledbylivonne #wearableart #recycledwearableart
25.01.2022 Emptiness is a fragile sweet. #fairyflosswig #headdressbylivonne #BlueMountainsArtist #BlueMountainsNSW #emptiness #fairyfloss #cottoncandy #bluemountainsmodel
24.01.2022 She has a laugh so hearty it knocks the whipped cream off an order of strawberry shortcake on a table fifty feet away. This is without a doubt one of my favourite pictures taken on set between filming of the locally made movie The Ninth Order. Food and laughter.. What a combination. #theninthorder #headdressbylivonne #makeupbylivonne #costuming #australianfilm #sevendeadlysins #sloth #gluttony #livonneimagery #BlueMountainsNSW #BlueMountainsArtist #foodandlaughter #damonrunyonquote
24.01.2022 While I've been quiet on here, life has been moving on at a cracking pace. I've been helping out on a locally made film doing hair, make up and costuming. It's taken me right out of my comfort zone especially the hairstyles, but its also so exciting. I'm up to my armpits in headdresses at the moment for another huge scene. The cast and crew are fabulous and include the talented John Jarratt and the up and coming Helena Zadro Jones. Remember that name. You'll be hearing a lot of it in years to come. I am so blessed to live in such a beautiful place and be surrounded by such talented and generously-spirited people . #bluemountainsnsw #bluemountainsartists #australianfilms #indiefilm #artnotcancelled #headdressbylivonne #livonneimagery #filmclasspictures #jahmedia #purpleskyproductions
24.01.2022 "What becomes of a muse without an artist to imagine her dreams? What becomes of a world without art to bring her dreams to life?" This piece was made in response to the Australian Govt removing arts from it's own portfolio and trying to hide it away in a "new super department".. They have again shown their disdain for the arts with the way this 112 billion dollar industry has been treated through the measures to support people through Covid-19 . The exhibition #FallingT...hroughTheCracksExhibition was postponed due to COVID-19 but will be at Balmain Watch House next June. Since it’s a long way away still I decided to show a few of the images. There are some new pieces in the works for it too since there is so much time to create more of this story. #fallingthroughthecracks #supportthearts #bluemountains #artisnotcancelled #exhibitionpostponed #bluemountainsnsw #bluemountainsartist #artmuse #stopdestroyingthearts #muse #weneedtodobetter #art #balmainwatchhousegallery #adobephotoshop #nikond610 #jointexhibition #artisnottransport
24.01.2022 She wore a mask, afraid that if they saw the real, broken person beneath it, she would be shunned by a world demanding perfection.

23.01.2022 Lost My Head In A Book is ready for @bluefringe_arts. This has been one of the most rewarding pieces of work I've ever done. It speaks of how i can escape to anywhere I want when I'm reading a book. I finished the headdress and neckpiece a year ago and finally finished the dress recently Then made shoes, suitcase, gloves, mask and scarf. Most exciting thing is it looks amazing on my real life model Geraldine too but due to me being distracted on the day I missed elements of the costume so will shoot again when Blue Fringe is finished. #lostmyheadinabook #wearableart #bluefringeart #bluemountainsnsw #bluemountainsartist #paperart #paperdoll #paperdress #art #conceptualart #fineart #visualstoryteller #headdressbylivonne #crownedbylivonne
23.01.2022 She built herself up with the things that calmed her soul.. She built others up because she knew what it felt like to be torn down. #collage #music #reading #reiki #soulbuilding #conceptualphotography #fineartphotography #adobephotoshop #nikond610 #buildothersup #bemorekind
23.01.2022 I've had an infection for a few days so haven't been working on anything. Today I'm feeling a bit better but still not up to doing too much so I grabbed my copy of The Godmothers by my favourite author, Monica McInerney. I assure you I won't ever use one of her books to make a dress. That would wreck my collection lol. As soon as I'm finished reading though, I'll get to and finish the accessories to go with this dress. (Disclaimer: no good books were harmed in the making of this dress.. only a few that were saved from landfill and reincarnated as art)
23.01.2022 Its so different doing men's headwear. Very challenging but lots of fun. More costuming for the film The Ninth Order. So thrilled to be part of it. #headdressbylivonne #crownedbylivonne #tophat #australianfilms #theninthorder #bluemountainsartist #costuming

18.01.2022 How blessed do we feel to be able to film today at the magnificent (and just a tad haunted) Woodford Academy - National Trust of Australia NSW. I just love this place! History oozes out of every square inch of the place. I once exhibited here and I can't tell you how proud I was to have my work on display there and to be part of it's story. Hopefully one day I'll get the chance again.. In the meantime, check the place out.. You won't regret it.. If only these walls could speak..
18.01.2022 There is no doubt that it’s been a tough year but compared to last Christmas, when we here in the Blue Mountains were surrounded by fires and suffocating smoke, this year feels so much more Christmassy. So I decided I needed a fairy tree this year as we could all use some magic in our lives. I hope the lead up to the big day is trouble free for you and that we all spread some Christmas cheer and love to create that magic.

16.01.2022 The last day of 2020.. I know it has been an Annus Horribilus for so many people and indeed the world, but the year has not been too bad for me to be honest. We saw 2020 in, surrounded by smoke and fires and I will admit, it played havoc with my mental health. I was terrified. But I did lots of creating early in the year for an exhibition that had to be cancelled though at least it's all printed and waiting for 2021. I spent a full month before Covid hit with Amelia, mak...ing beautiful memories. I started creating a new kind of image which I absolutely loved, as well as realising that I could tell a story with a headdress. I worked on a film which pushed me out of my comfort zone even further. Excitingly, I found out I'm going to be a Gargie again to more beautiful and much wanted little souls. I (FINALLY) made this house into a home after 4 years of living here. And I had lots of time to reflect on where I want my art to go from here and it's in quite a different direction. If we hadn't had so much forced alone time, I might not have realised that I want to be more diverse in my art. I've always loved a quiet new year. I find it a very spiritual and powerful time and tonight will be no exception. I'll write my intentions for the coming year (not resolutions), and spend some quiet time saying goodbye to the weirdest year most of us have ever lived through while welcoming the new year in. Please stay safe, wear a mask and don't go into crowds. Even better, stay at home! Honestly, if we want a better new year, we have to make sacrifices to our social life right now. Surely that's not too much to ask? However you spend it, enjoy the last day of 2020.. See you next year! #happynewyear2021 #timetoreflect #staysafe #bluemountainsartist #bluemountainsnsw #365daysofpossibility

09.01.2022 Today marks the United Nation’s’ International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Most violence doesn’t start with being hit. It might begin with isolation which looks like love. Then words disguised as love which are meant to undermine confidence. Those words turn to cruel ones meant to silence you. Threats to take children away. When you have no self esteem left and are fearful for those around you, you are more likely to hide the violence as you have been totally disempowered. It needs to stop. We need to educate. We need stronger laws. We need to all stand up as one and so say NO MORE! #uninternationaldayfortheeliminationofviolenceagainstwomen #stoptheviolence #domesticviolencesurvivor #fromfracturedtofairytale #fineartphotography #adobephotoshop #nikond610

08.01.2022 The exhibition #FallingThroughTheCracksExhibition was postponed due to COVID-19 but will be at Balmain Watch House next June. Since it’s a long way away still I decided to show a few of the images. There are some new pieces in the works for it too since there is so much time to create more of this story. This particular image talks about the difference between faith and religion. One can hold you up while the other destroys what you believe about yourself. Systemic abuse in organised religion is so destructive but is no match for the human spirit’s ability to rise from the ashes. #fallingthroughthecracks #religiousabuse #faithvsreligion #artisnotcancelled #exhibitionpostponed #bluemountainsnsw #bluemountainsartist #bluemountainsactors #balmainwatchhousegallery #survivor #jointexhibition
07.01.2022 just 7 days until Blue Fringe Virtual Gallery goes live.. I can't wait to see it.. Most exhibitions have been cancelled due to covid-19 so I'm blown away by the way this incredible committee have battled through and found a way to present Blue Fringe at this time. I know it's been no small feat.. They work hard every year but this one has been so challenging and they've come through with the goods.. Next Saturday at 9am, the VIRTUAL gallery goes live.. I hope you will all visit! #bluefringeart #bluefringearts #bluefringearts2020 #artnotcancelled #bluemountainsartist #bluemountainsnsw #mentalhealthmonth #mentalhealthawareness #7daystogo

06.01.2022 I'm going to be selling off lots of my costumes (shoes, props, hats etc) soon..(to make some much needed room lol) Whilst I'll be having a sale, to be Covid safe, it will be by appointment only and will probably go over 2 weeks... Details soon but we're looking at October at this moment in time.. There will be an online calendar where you can book your time.. 4 people only at one time, so you'll be able to organise 3 friends to come with you and the times will be in one hour blocks but you can book longer if you want to.. If you're interested in being kept updated, let me know and I'll send out more details as they come to hand..

04.01.2022 What do you do when you can't have models at home to work with and you've already worked on your older shoots. You set to and get the house the way you want it. I've been doing some painting and decorating around here.. and after buying a pink whistling kettle for my kitchen, I thought I needed a pink fridge.. but there was nothing wrong with mine.. So I had just ordered some decals from Bird on the hill designs for my bedroom, which arrived through the week (much quicker than I thought they would) but had more than I needed... so I raced to the hardware store and grabbed some pink chalk paint (because I was too impatient to order it) and when it was fully painted, added one of the decals.. Voila.. new fridge.. I'm very happy with it.. I think it's time I got back to photography though.. I miss it!
04.01.2022 Only 4 more days until Blue Fringe virtual gallery goes live.. I can't wait to see it. I am excited.. #artnotcancelled #bluefringearts #bluefringe2020 #bluemountainsartists #mentalhealthmonth #mentalhealthawareness #virtualexhibition
04.01.2022 Last night I had the strangest dream. That sounds like the beginning of a song but it isn't. Now there is nothing unusual about my strange dreams. I'm the queen of them. But I think this one was from so deep in my subconscious and it showed me something quite profound about myself. I feel I need to share it, though I don't really want to. I saw a piece of art that really appealed to me. There were 12 somethings on it. I honestly can't remember it, just that something wa...s repeated 12 times and that it really touched something inside me. I think I had made the art, but I was quite separate from it. Then I saw a glass conservatory with 12 people? in it, but they weren't quite people.. I can't explain that part. It turns out, they were the artists. They were quite happy flitting around making art when someone put a huge lion in the conservatory. I knew he would tear them all apart and I was helpless to stop it. I was so upset with them because they could have broken the glass to get out but they didn't. They fought the lion but it was obvious they never had a chance. When I woke up, the dream stayed with me, so I decided to do a guided meditation from YouTube to shake it off. I use meditations from YouTube all the time and see the same ones repeatedly. The one that popped up I had never seen before and it was about procrastination, so I chose it as I've been a bit stilted creatively. Holy cow! what a meditation and I know for sure that it was sent to me by my angels. It involved the archangels Michael, Uriel, Metatron and Gabriel and in amongst other messages, they explained to me that the lion was my ego (obvious sign for a Leo) and that my ego was devouring my creativity. It is standing in the way of achieving my higher life's purpose. I then thought about this image and how, although when I was a little girl, I always had dreams about the lion savaging loved ones, I still felt protected by it and I conveyed that in this image from From Fractured to Fairytale. I finally realised that i'd been holding onto it, because I felt it's protection but I no longer need it. It's time to ask the ego (which has been my shield and protector) to step aside and start to create from the heart, in all it's vulnerability. Feeling vulnerable is something that I absolutely fear but I was told it is time to create from love not ego. The archangels told me they would be by my side and I don't have to fear. I believe them. I feel so very blessed today. I wasn't going to share this dream and subsequent meditation as it is so personal but when I sat down to the computer, I felt an overwhelming compulsion to share it with you all and the need to document it for myself. Time to move forward again in this journey called life.
04.01.2022 "No amount of gold can mend the earth once she is broken. We cannot drink it. We cannot eat it.. We cannot breathe it. Yet we still worship it." The exhibition #FallingThroughTheCracksExhibition was postponed due to COVID-19 but will be at Balmain Watch House next June. Since it’s a long way away still I decided to show a few of the images. There are some new pieces in the works for it too since there is so much time to create more of this story. #fallingthroughthecracks #whenwillwelearn #bluemountains #artisnotcancelled #exhibitionpostponed #bluemountainsnsw #bluemountainsartist #motherearth #noamountofgold #climatechange #weneedtodobetter #miningiskillingher #balmainwatchhousegallery #adobephotoshop #nikond610 #jointexhibition
04.01.2022 She had to wait for them to turn the key just to feel.. To laugh.. to cry.. to perform on cue. She longed for the freedom to just be. #fragmentedfantoccini #puppetshow #mechanicaldoll #windupdoll #tojustbe #midastouch #allthatglitters #nikond610 #adobephotoshop #bluemountainsartist #bluemountainsnsw #distortedreality #livonneimagery
04.01.2022 I've been working on set for a locally made film lately and had the privilege of working with the incredible #stringsonfire. So while I'm having a quiet day today I decided to make them into a painterly style image. I just wish I had thought to take my camera on set but a phone photo had to suffice. #stringsonfire #filming #bluemountainsartists #art #artist #creativeportraits #instagramart #adobephotoshop #livonneimagery #stringsonfireshow #painterlyphotography #violins #theninthorder #carringtonhotelkatoomba
03.01.2022 Sometimes you just have to experiment a little bit and to try new techniques. I decided i wanted to try a more illustrated kind of effect. #conceptualphotography #distortedreality #bigeyes #doll #fragmentedfantoccini #experimental #illustrativephotography #cartoonstyle #adobephotoshop #nikond610
03.01.2022 She cut the strings, one at a time, slowly learning to stand on her own. She knew it was a risk, but it was one she had to take."

03.01.2022 See no evil but please see the pain of those affected by it. Hear no evil but please listen to the voices of it's victims. Speak no evil but it is your duty to speak out against it. Silence is evil's greatest ally. #seenoevil #hearnoevil #speaknoevil #fallingthroughthecracks #upcomingexhibition #conceptualphotography #fineartphotography #nikond610 #photoshop #adobephotoshop #fashionindustry #silenceistheenemy #crownedbylivonne #headdressbylivonne #visualstoryteller #quotebylivonne
02.01.2022 "If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it aint."

02.01.2022 This image resonates so strongly with me. The bushfires that ravaged Australia a few months ago left people, animals and insects homeless. Thank you to Sophie, my gorgeous model for bringing the heart that it needed. If it touches a cord with you, please click on the link, and mark it as a favourite (you'll see a star)
01.01.2022 When you're trying to find a way in, someone else is trying to find their way out. The grass isn't greener on the other side. It is the greenest where it is watered. #bluemountainsartist #art #artist #creativeportraits #conceptualphotography #conceptualart #instagramart #grassisnotgreener #digitalart #nikond610 #fineartphotography #adobephotoshop #livonneimagery #photography #bluemountainsnsw #ontheotherside #livonneimagery
01.01.2022 The world of fashion is full of girls who have been silenced. Girls with stories that need to be told, secrets that need to be shared and voices that need to be heard. The exhibition #FallingThroughTheCracksExhibition was postponed due to COVID-19 but will be at Balmain Watch House next June. Since it’s a long way away still I decided to show a few of the images.
