After 25 years, sadly, Tacit Art will be closing. This wonderfull gallery has supported my art for the past 10 years and I will miss them so much.
Tonight (Wednesday May 28) is the final Opening Event - if you can get along to farewell the lads please do so. Better yet, come during the final run of this Group Exhibition featuring some amazing artists, especially TJ Bateson (Tim). Come, see, buy if you can.

It's been a few weeks - I have been busy! Doing lots of small format sculptures, playing around with oils, teaching, getting prepared for new term, gym, life, etc... But here is something hot of the desk!
I recently created a small format sculpture based around a Sirena tuna tin, and while it is 'okay', I knew I could do something better! So I recreated the concept in graphite on paper. And I am far more pleased with the result.
I only every buy Sirena tuna now - it is sustainably fished in Australian waters with pole and line. An all Australian company - not to mention being delicious.
I asked my classes to create a drawing of fungi in an imaginative or fantastical way - to go past reality into another world. Here is my demonstration piece:
I was thrilled to have a work accepted in The Royal Society of British Artists Annual Exhibition 2025 at the Mall Galleries in London!
'Lepus' is hung and now on display! This is the second showing of 'Lepus', first seen here in Melbourne at Tacit Art in 2024.

We've been working in graphite and inks 'from life' - common supermarket button and cap mushrooms. Just experimenting with using pencils and various types of inks. Here are few of the deomonstration works I completed in class.

Hope you have all had a great summer and are looking forward to the start of the new year of classes! I have been away for a week in January running a colour pencil workshop in Bellingen, NSW, Camp Creative. If you zip over to my instagram page you can see some of the fabulous work the students did. Just click the icon on the right and ask to follow.
But now it is time to look forward to the new term... Fabulous Fungi (and florals)! All classes are currently full and wait list applies, contact VAS or MMAG. You will be able to follow along with some of the projects here or on my instagram page. As a taster and practice, here are a few little observational drawings I have done in preparation for the classes:
Upcoming exhibition at The Victorian Artists Society

I am showing my two 'Dodgy Paper' ink works - 'Dodgy Fitzroy Alley' and 'Dodgy Abbotsford Shop'. A4 sized works, framed.
Dodgy paper is a unique handmade paper crated from recycled paper here in Melbourne. Fun to play and draw on!
