two new shows this weekend

I have two new openings this weekend. The first one is part of a fund raiser for the braveheart youth trust and is curated by Liz Caughey. It runs from the 28th - 30th of May at the ASB show grounds in Auckland. It should be a great opportunity to purchase some great art for a great reason as all commission goes to the Brave Heart Youth Trust.

The other up and coming show this weekend is at Thermostat in Palmerston North...

MFA work over, new show in MElbourne

So December 2009 I passed my MFA from RMIT in Melbourne. Great to have it over and done with and I am really pleased with the work that I produced out of it too. My assesment show in Auckland looked great, and the photos of it are here:







Tonight, in Melbourne at the Brunswick street gallery a show of my work from my MFA opens up. It's my first solo show outside of New Zealand. It runs until 8th of April and the gallery is open from 10am - 10pm 7 days a week. Find it in Fitzroy at 322 Brunswick street if you happen to be in Melbourne during this time.

There is plenty keeping me busy at the moment. As per usual. One of them is another baby on the way.


I understand it is going to get much busier afterwards, with a toddler and a baby, but somehow I seem to find pregnancy a bit time consuming. ( I found it easier doing my masters after Jai was born as opposed to the first year of it when I was pregnant with him)
