resolutions.

I'm welcoming 2010 with open arms. Time for changes, a few trips away and some amazing art making. I can't wait.

1. Live alone.
2. Visit mum and dad in San Francisco.
3. Take mum to NYC.
4. Have a solo exhibition and then some more...
5. Make myself a proper studio space, no matter how big or small.
6. Take lots of polaroids.
7. Look after my health, private health insurance is a good start.

Happy and healthy new year to everyone I love. x

6 things i love...

Not gonna lie. There are a million things going on over here at the moment so i apologise for the lack of promised art in progress photos. But know that it's happening and these 6 things i love are only aiding the 'getting my butt into gearness' that will eventually amount to my second solo exhibition in february. Watch this space, merry christmas and enjoy.

spending far too much on nara merchandise at the gallery store...this little angel and dvd, just a couple of things i couldn't leave without.


buying pretty plates to frame my cross stitch pieces...new exhibition works that are underway.


watching nara at work...it was the most incredible week watching one of my most favourite people creating an artwork just metres away from me...i love my job.



picking up a few gems at paddo antiques...this little cake decorating set...

& the rose needlepoint and retro autumn print cushions that i've been eyeing off for weeks.

Playing in nara's cubby house that is one of seventeen kids activities at GoMA right now...this is really what dreams are made of.
