UPCOMING SOLO EXHIBITION - IN THE WAKE OF - HURSTVILLE MUSEUM AND GALLERY

Hot on the heels of my exhibition ‘Nebuchadnezzar Tree Dreaming’ currently on at Shoalhaven Regional Gallery (on until February 26th) I’m excited to announce my new upcoming exhibition ‘In the wake of…’ (opening 26th Feb) at Hurstville Museum and Gallery. This exhibition explores my time spent as artist-in-residence with Georges River Council Carss Park Cottage. The exhibition consisting of 24 works on paper and ceramics are presented as poetic evocations about my childhood looking across the bay. Please join me for an afternoon tea on Sunday 6th March at 3pm to view the exhibition. It’s a very different show to others I’ve had, with mostly bite sized works all for sale to the public. Much thanks to art curators Claire Baddeley and Renee Porter and the stellar crew at Hurstville Museum and Gallery for their care and invaluable support. You are fantastic!
