| Visiting " Leaves of Distinction " Exhibition- Rebecca and Andrais from the Western Highlands, Papua New Guinea |
To say the last month has been busy is an understatement. This weekend, my work will be in three art exhibitions in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. "Leaves of Distinction" continues at
Timeless Textiles Gallery, 90 Hunter Street, Newcastle East until 12 October. I have been overwhelmed by the number of visitors to the exhibition already and the positive response. Thank you to all who have visited either in person, or the online virtual tour

Today, NCEATA (Newcastle Creative Embroiderers and Textile Artists) opened a group exhibition at the Cessnock Regional Art Gallery, which will continue there until 26 October. I have two art works in this exhibition - Valley Girls - one depicts the colour of the tourist aspect of the wine industry in the Hunter Valley and the other, with eco dyed fabrics, represents the environment. Both of these art dolls are built on wine bottle bases ( Hunter Valley wines, of course)

Hope you add one of these art events to your holiday weekend activities....
Your artworks are beautiful. I love the colours of the Valley Girls and especially love the intricacy of the bodice of Valley Girl 1. Such a gorgeous concept.
ReplyDeleteWhat incredible work you do! It reminds me a little of Brian and Wendy Froud, English authors and puppeteers who do the most amazing things. It's wonderful to have discovered you and your work
