I’ve known Daisy of AsDaisyDoes for a while, I actually used to teach workshops in her space in Geelong back in the day. She doesn’t do workshops anymore, but she has expanded her world into the wholesale sector with her new business Big Daisy. We’ve always kept in touch and it’s been incredible to watch her do her thing (as only Daisy does!)

Huxter reached out to me at the end of last year. The Melbourne based company produces a range of home products including wrapped soaps featuring Australian artists. They had a number of artists they worked with but had never worked with a watercolour artist before. I was quick to say yes!

Working in a sketch book is always something I'm trying to improve on. Typically I'm horrendous at keeping any kind of organised 'sketch book', any bit of scrap paper or note page at hand is it and they all fly around my studio loosely. I also have a penchant for the ol' butcher's paper and love to draw up and plan on large sheets. So basically, it's a mess and there's no organisation to it at all. I'm never able to find anything again either.

Hello from Falls Creek in the beautiful alpine country in Victoria! I'm up here for nearly three weeks as their artist-in-residence. The idea of the residency is to reinvigorate year-round cultural activity on the mountain and I get the opportunity to draw from the unique features of Victoria’s pristine alpine environment, surrounded by National Park, to reflect, research and develop creative ideas.

The spark for this exhibition came from a handful of conversations through the Autumn of ‘21 with us both longing for some change to our studio practices, more social connection and some much-needed adventure.
