11.01.2022 I love this idea, what a great way to document, draw, sketch, test and experiment and most of all keep all the creative juices flowing and inspire those around us.

07.01.2022 Today was just so amazing. I am still buzzing. So many laughs and incredible film and stills captured by Larissa of Hinterland Photography of my guerilla-style public art performances. She found some amazing locations that fitted perfectly with the context of my work. The works are part of my graduate works for my Bachelors of Fine Art. Now to edit all this wonderful material. And how great is Nambour, just saying.

03.01.2022 Stillife drawing in a series of tonal range, from 2 to 4 tones

03.01.2022 After watching the last part of the #sbslifedrawinglive session I thought to post some drawings from way back when I use the attend life drawing classes regurlarly. This life drawing session was 2009 done in Conte on Canson paper, A3. The foreshortening and proportions are really off here. The legs look rather awkward, but I remember the conte gliding over the paper, searching for shapes and negative spaces. Looking at my drawings from 10 years ago take me back to how keen I was to learn and how fun drawing is. I need to make more time to go to more life drawing sessions. #lifedrawing #instaart #adrawing a day. From tomorrow for 7 days I will be taking over #creativespaces.sc as part of the in-residency with a project we will be doing in collaboration with my two daughters. Make sure to check in, we will be posting every day.

01.01.2022 Tuned in last minute for the #sbslifedrawinglive last night. Managed to pull out a little A4 drawing. I hope they do another one soon, this was fun. Missed the start, so will have to look at it on SBS on demand tomorrow. That is after our rehearsal for our in-residency project with Creative Spaces. My daughters and I will be doing our first collaboration performance between the 6th and 12th of July, with daily posts on instagran under the tag #creativespaces.sc
