Busy Week

It has been a busy week in the studio this past week. I have been turning out the work fast- nothing like a deadline to speed me up.
In between finishing works of art I have had the work photographed, visited the framer (to part with my life savings in order to have amazing frames put around the work - it certainly makes a difference), picked up the hardcopy invites and now it is back to the studio to complete the final series - Tuscany, and I am done..... I think.

Here's a few details of works- don't want to give away all the images before the show!

Berber Doorways - detail

Outside the Riad - detail

Paris Carousel- detail

Invites are here - well, the e-invites are here.

You are officially invited to.........

put it in your diary!! 

Paris, the last of the European books. Book 12

So, at last I have done the Paris book. It is a carousel book as we saw many carousels ( merry go round) in Paris. This book is made from the brochures of the L"Orangerie and La Louvre and a Paris map; of course.
It includes  page for Giverny and Versailles as we had a day in each of these places.
I loved Paris, and of course I couldnt include or capture everything in this little book. Even though I did this at home I used only the materials I took with me with one exception - a gold marker that I have used to frame the Versailles page - it really needed gold .. so over the top!

Books as sculpture

Today I thought I would show you a selection of my books.
This book explores the merchant culture of Vietnam, in it's many varied forms.It is a carousel book and I have combined my photos and drawings to create it


World Trip - carousel book. This is a quick trip around the meal tables of the world ( Vietnam, India, Greece, Morocco and Japan), then back to Melbourne , where we have a wonderful mix of people, culture and food.

"Open Door Policy" is about the way we operate our home, it is a place where we welcome everyone, to eat, drink, chat, spend time with each other. We hope to reflect the love we have for Jesus through our home.

This piece is "Book of Knowledge" it is a bridge between the unknown and the known.
