COLLABORATION - CLOS MILAN 2018 FIRST RELEASE IN TEN YEARS - SAINT RÉMY DE PROVENCE FRANCE

It’s bottled, labelled and ready to be enjoyed! I’m very pleased with the outcome and so honoured to be featured on Domaine Milan’s 2018 C.L.O.S MILAN as their first international artist from Australia. I’m also very blessed that the original artwork done for the label will form part of their private Art Collection at the winery for all to enjoy.

It was extremely humbling to have Henri Milan fall in love with the work that I created for the label (In true French passionate fashion!) he commented that I very successfully captured… “the true embodiment of their philosophy behind their natural process with the work”…the philosophy they pride being a love in… “an organic farming approach, the harmony created by a biodynamic practice in the mind and the simple influences of the moon on the rhythms of the seas, of women and of men…” to produce their exclusive sulphur free wines that travel far and wide.

My collaboration with this gorgeous family owned boutique winery in the heart of the Alpilles has been one of the most memorable and rewarding experiences that I cherished whilst spending time in France on Art Residency. The experience and the connection to the very special community in Saint Rémy has brought me much happiness and new found friends that will be around for many years to come.

I look forward to returning to France one day soon to celebrate our union (of course drinking the fine wine!), continuing friendships and making many more.

Thank you to all who made this possible!

Mes sincéres remerciements! X

GROUP SHOW GALERIE HEIMAT SAINT-RÉMY FRANCE- 'EXPOSITION NOËL_001' 2020

Feeling the Christmas spirit and feeling very special to be included in ‘Exposition Noël_001’ at Galerie Heimat in Saint-Rémy Provence France, the village town where Van Gogh made it famous. Curated by the ever so lovely and beautifully spirited Alexandra Chiara director of this stunning commercial gallery in the heart of Provence. She has brought together nine artists (painters, sculptors and jewellery makers) both locally and internationally from France, Germany, China, Finland and me from Australia. It touched me that she was so excited to welcome me as her first ever Australian artist from wayyyy down under! and be representing me in this exhibition. I wish I could be there for the opening but I’ll be seeing you all again in 2020 when I will be doing my residency. Exhibition opens Saturday 7th December. The exhibition continues until the 11th January 2020. Gallery Hours Thursday - Sunday 11am - 7pm. JOYEUX NOËL !
