25.01.2022 Our second Olla creating workshop with Tania Davey from Margaret River Art and Environment was just as relaxing and productive as the first! Once fired, our oll...as will be able to be planted in the garden, filled with water and slowly seep water into the soil to keep the plants surrounding them happy. We look forward to working with Tania on more outdoor art projects into the future. https://www.facebook.com//Margaret-River-Art-and-Environm/ See more

20.01.2022 Work in progress at the Margaret River Environment Centre. How do we build resilience? By caring for our natural environment we support our own physical and mental health. By immersing in nature we anchor our emotions.... By bonding with family and community we support eachothers well being. Creativiy helps us to release tangled thought and hold onto inspired ideas. GROW STRONG, BE WELL

09.01.2022 Today I have been working on one of two banners to be used by the The Margaret River Regional Environment Centre (MRREC) in protest of logging. It is unbelievable to see that our state government still approves logging in our precious native forest habitats. This hideous behaviour risks our species diversity, our climate and the whole future of our planet Earth. I have renewed energy for challenging this destruction....time for action. Please view WAFA fb page for latest details on logging in our forests near Nanup....just 35 minutes drive from Margaret River.
