That's your bloomin' lot

Mandurah Performing Art Centre, Alcoa Art Gallery

24 January - 25 February 2025

This exhibition is a survey of the last 8 years of my botanical inspired works. Contemporary watercolours and mixed media paintings.

The show title is the catchphrase of the late Peter Cundall, presenter of the ABC 's Gardening Australia program during the 1990s and 2000s. As new arrivals to Australia we watched the program with glee. Cundall's infectious enthusiasm was a contributing factor to my starting to paint botanical subjects.
The earliest works are studies of larger installations created for international exhibitions: the 2016 G20 International Exchange, China and the 2018 Asian Art Biennial, Bangladesh. The exhibition shows paintings from two specific native flora research residencies in Dwellingup 2021 and Wireless Hill 2022. The latest series is described as one of appreciating beauty that is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete in nature.

11th International Triennial of Graphic Art Bitola

I am one of the ~800 participating artists from 145 countries in the 11th International Graphic Triennial. Not just by the sheer number of exhibitors, but it is significant and unique in its contribution of world graphic thought on a European and global scale.
It has been held since 1994. Its main goal is with lust and great love to touch and discover the modern graphic activities from all meridians.
