Maternity Leave

**I'll be going on maternity leave on the 31st August 2010 and am taking bookings for weddings and commissions for August 2011 onwards**

Dance Sucker

I went to the Sub Station in Newport today and shot the last 3 images for my series 'Dance Sucker'. It was great to shoot just for me but struggled a little with the running back and forth to the camera for self timing as I'm 5.5 months pregnant, and I keep forgetting I can't do what I normally do! And with all that forgetfulness I didn't even check if I still fitted into the dress* I'm wearing throughout the series but luckily I managed to squish myself in.

There was a Sudanese dance group there as well which added a nice soundtrack while I was working, anyhoot here is a sneak peak of one of the works in progress. Highlighting the ridiculousness of profile pictures;

Ps. if you live in Melbourne and have been thinking about doing a drawing course you should check out the lovely and talented Erika Gofton, details of the courses she offers are on Facebook.

*This Fleur Wood dress was an amazing second hand find at The Green Collective in Anderson Street, Yarraville. It's one of my all time favourite places to shop.

A constant reminder

I saw Julie Shiels speak recently, and strangley enough, before that day I had been seeing chairs and couches dumped all over the west which I felt like I should be using in photographs or something.. Then I was introduced to her work and it all came together.

Julie's a fantastic speaker and she really inspired (and motivated) me to create. And the result, is a little installation in my street.

Win some art in April on Facebook!

I always get sad this time of year, when the days are getting darker and colder.. Bring on Spring! So I thought I'd give away two pieces of work to cheer you up, and you can do it either of two ways;

#1 JOIN my Facebook page during April, email me your contact details and go in the draw to win a 30x30cm canvas print of You Swept Me Off Your Feet.

#2 Already following my Facebook page? SUGGEST the page to friends in April, email me your contact details and the names of your friends (more friends more chances to win), sit back and wait for your name to be pulled out of a hat. Literally. The lucky winner will receive a framed 8x12" artist proof of Wistfully Yours, a hand coloured artist proof from The Family Mould series.

The competition runs from the 1st until the 30th of April and the two lucky winners will have their name pulled out of a hat on the 1st of May. Stay tuned!

Any questions let me know :)
