'The Wildlife Artist in her native habitat', oil on canvas, 60x90cm.
I created this portrait of fellow artist Kelly-Anne Love after visiting her at her studio during the lead up to the Archibald this year. She was working on her entry at the time & I was so taken with her crazy individuality which was reflected in both her style & studio space that I had to paint her!
This portrait has been submitted for this years' Kilgour Portrait Prize.
Fingers crossed!

Back at the Art Studios Cooperative!

After a year on my own, I am pleased to be back amongst friends at North Gosford. Changes are currently underway to the Coop building but we are still working away in our Studio spaces at the rear of the building. Shortly we will be opening for monthly Studio Open Days where you can come visit, see works-in-progress, share a cup of tea & even buy some art!
More about that later....
