Curiouser and Curiouser

Today I went to the fabulous Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery and was totally inspired by the interesting displays and slightly foreboding atmosphere. This place is rife with Victoriana Naturalism, if you know where to look, and everything is shown so beautifully. The lighting is dramatic to say the least! I love the quietness of the place as well. You get a real sense of discovery as you wind your way through the rooms and vaults, finding all sorts of things that pique the interest.

 

An Autumn Stroll

I went for my daily walk this evening in crisp Autumn splendour. These are the things that caught my eye (and my camera lens!) - The beautiful colours of the season with a few last fading blooms being replaced by fiery toned leaves. With the smell of wood smoke and apple cider wafting down the rivulet from the nearby brewery, I really felt immersed in the season.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finalist!

I have very exciting news to announce. I am a finalist in the Bay of Fires Art Prize 2014! Whilst I can't show my entry until the finalist's exhibition, I can tell you that the exhibition for this year's finalists will be held at the Tidal Waters Resort in St Helens Tasmania and will be on show from the 7th June until the 19th July 2014. I am honoured to be included in this prestigious art  prize and will be crossing all my fingers and toes that I take out the prize of $20,000. I'm sure whoever the wins will be greatly deserved and I can't wait to see what other artworks are included. Wish me luck.....
