This person walks past my daughter’s house most days, about mid-morning. This is how they walk. This is what they wear every single day. Sometimes there are the red mittens on. Sometimes not.

I just love the fact that they exist. I have painted them so I won’t ever forget.

The humans who help me to feel like we’re all around, and we are all sort of on our own, but maybe we’re never particularly alone.

My dad came to Australia as a skilled migrant in the 70s, when that was a cool and accepted thing to do. He is now moving back home (Norway) and I am being gifted some very incredible items from his time here.

Yesterday I saw the finalists for the #Archibald, #Wynne & #Sulman prizes. This is what I later wrote #AustralianArt

I am sad to be missing the Cressida Campbell exhibition at the NGA in Canberra so I bought myself this fabulous book. Stunning woodblock paintings. https://nga.gov.au/exhibitions/cressida-campbell/ #art #woodcut #woodblockpainting #japanesewoodblock #painting #AustralianArt #exhibitions #artbooks #selfgifting

Hi Australian artists - this is VERY last minute, but it totally doable. #Coonabarabran is having its very first gay pride event and SPACE gallery is supporting the event with an exhibition.

Please boost :D

People who only think of art as money don’t understand that artists like Frederick McCubbin & Arthur Streeton painted the Australian bush because they loved it. Their sympathy was with conservationists, not the destroyers #AustralianArt #PoliticalProtest

It may be 38 degrees outside, but I adored my first visit to the beautiful McClelland Sculpture Park & Gallery, and the wonderful tour of the current Centre 5 modern sculpture exhibition by its curator Jane Eckett! https://mcclelland.org.au/exhibitions/centre-5-bridging-the-gap

I wonder what this so-called ‘intent’ was…

There’s an extremely big difference between displaying a painting for a wedding venue and displaying paintings for art/museum exhibitions.

Inside my Bowerbirds! Book published by Blurb books. I finally have an ISBN! I have proofs on my Kofi, Etsy and eBay sites if you want to help me out! #bowerbirds #selfpublished #Blurbbooks #australianart

Archie Moore’s “Inert State” installation at Qld Art Gallery. At first I thought these floating documents were discarded exam papers, capturing the celebratory end of semester mood. We were, after all, at the gallery with young student friends for a special lunch to celebrate their successful completion of the year’s study. However - this is Archie Moore’s work & the documents represent 200 coronial reports into Indigenous deaths in custody - such a powerful statement. “In the 30 years since the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody, the NDICP has recorded 517 Indigenous deaths in custody. Between 1 April and 30 June 2022 there were 26 deaths in custody – five Indigenous deaths and 21 non-Indigenous deaths.” https://www.aic.gov.au/media-centre/news/dashboard-provides-quarterly-reporting-deaths-custody #AustralianArt #QAG #QueenslandArtGallery #ArchieMoore #AboriginalDeathsInCustody

Cressida Campbell - National Gallery of Australia https://nga.gov.au/exhibitions/cressida-campbell/

Highly recommend this #CressidaCampbell exhibition and her #Art, #Woodblocks and #Printmaking more broadly.

I was not familiar with this #AustralianArtist and went to see what all the talk was about. I found the pieces to be immediately engaging and accessible; lovely, colourful and meticilous glimpses into the beauty to be found in #EverydayLife.

I cannot locate the title of these pieces that feature in the exhibition and cover the walls of the entrance area. Stunning.

I love this gorgeous cluttered work by #margaretolley ... ---Margaret Olley, Plumbago. 2000, oil on composition board, 59.0 x 89.5 cm.
