I haven't slept much since yesterday's opening, so I'm off to bed for a wee nap.

What an outcome!

To recap: I sold my first painting yesterday - to the CEO of Arts Access Victoria (Caroline Bowditch).

Caroline has also asked if it's possible to commission me to photograph landscapes on the property her and her wife just bought up in snow country as a 50th bday gift to her brother.

PLUS, her wife works for Theatre Works in St Kilda and has said they need/want a trans photographer on their books for community sensitive events!

In other news, the media manager for Midsumma said my work for them this year was so great, both the sheer number of images and the quality, so would be interested in bringing me on as one of the paid photographers for next year's festival!

😱

My seven canvases are going up on the wall in a matter of moments. Here's a cheeky sneak peak (of course, if you're ever near the Yarra Sculpture Gallery on a Friday you can pop in as it's open to the public).

She's a scorcher in Naarm today folx. Stay safe and hydrate if you must be outside (or have no aircon).

I'm in my cave at YSG with a fan, so I'm good.

Went outside to spray my canvases with finishing varnish and took these images whilst out in the heat. The black and white painted wall is by Manda Lane, 2022.

I hope you especially like the third one (artists unknown) 😂

Today I start my art residency with the Yarra Sculpture Gallery through ArtsAccess Victoria. I have the projection room. Some lights for working & to spotlight the wall for my canvases will be installed this arvo. Bring on the creativity!

Today was busy. But so rewarding.
I walked 18000 steps (my daily goal is between 2000-6000).
The best thing about my day was meeting up with the loveliest of people and an amazing Textiles artist/loomer extraordinaire.
They gave me tips and tricks to help me with my own art endeavours for some of the ideas I'll be working on during my residency at Yarra Sculpture Gallery in Abbotsford starting in January 2023.
I'm excited!
