print cult exhibition opening

Last night I had the pleasure and good fortune of attending the opening of Print Cult at Magazine Gallery. An exhibition by an exceptional collection of Adelaide printmakers Josh Searson, Kerri Ann Wright, Jayson Fox, Louise Vodic and Jake Holmes.

My favourite piece of the show would have to be Louise's relief print (picture 3). For me, it is reminiscent of early Japanese landscapes. I love the organic quality of the lines, the overlapping movement and splendid choice of complimentary colours. Special kudos to Kerri Ann too for the beautiful framed print. So beautiful.

PS: My website is up and running now, take a look!

new miri and the birds print and feature on art hound

It is the weekend following yet another busybusy (one 'busy' is simply not enough!) week at uni and in the studio, and at last I get to share the fruits of my labours with you. Firstly, I have added a new print to my store. It is a portrait of Miriam, or Miri and the Birds as I named the piece. It sounds more like a band name than anything, but I think its quite sweet. To achieve the dusty effect I wanted to emphasise the flurry of feathers and movement I used a combination of gouache and white pencil and rub-rub-rubbed until the desired vision took shape. Besides Miri there are a few other new things in store.

Secondly I am very excited to be a featured artist on Art Hound, a fabulous curated space by Brooklyn-based blogger Kate Singleton. Her page is so clever and well designed, I could browse it for eternity!

stock le shop

My lovely new postcard prints were finally delivered in the mail and I am super excited to announce their arrival into my newly renovated etsy store! Yay! There will be many more goodies added to the shop within the coming week, including Moleskine journals and brand new badge sets! Stay tuned x x

keen as pie

I just discovered one of my favourite illustrators, Julianna Swaney's online shop, and I have to say I am keen as pie to get my mits on her limited edition prints! They are just too beautiful to resist. The folky style reminds me a lot of the animations I would watch in Hungary as a child, as they had that pinned-limb motion to them. The delicacy and depth of this work really warms my heart, and I can't wait for the day I start my own art collection! Lovely!
