SUN'S COMING UP! EXHIBITION
3-17 August 2005, Off Centre Gallery,77 Salamanca Place, Hobart.
The work comprises oils and gouaches, with several collections of short stories and poetry. I am qualified as a Graphic Designer, Master Educator and Art Therapist and have painted and exhibited and taught over many years, with work in collections in 13 countries (including UK.,USA., NZ. Japan, China, Germany, France).
Since 2000, I exhibited with The Hobart Fringe Festival, (committee member, exhibited Puppet Theatre'01, performed readings), was part of the first Street Gallery (prints '03), exhibited at St Peter's Hall, Sandy Bay (Thanksgiving Concert and exhibition of gouaches '01); Sidespace Gallery ("Journey" gouaches '02); Moonah Art Centre ("Something about Mary" oils, gouaches, concert and Art Therapy '04); Women Tasmania International Women's Day Exhibitions (drawing, oils each year '01-'05); Off Centre Gallery (Hibermania oils '05); St. John's Hospital (Gibson Ward, cards of gouaches '04-'05). Presently exhibiting in Sugar and Spice at Mawson Building (gouache), and Multicultural Art Exhibition at Women Tasmania (oil painting, "Heritage"). I have published many small magazines with graphics and three anthologies of Tasmanian work ("Versions" 1987, '92, '94, '98-2004).
I have lectured and shown my work to the National Symposium on Art Therapy (Edith Cowan University, 2003), Women Tasmania ('02), Tasmanian Cancer Summit ('02, '03), University of Tasmania, Communications Course ('03), Rotary Tasmania ('04), Calvary Hospital Pastoral Carers ('05), and wrote on the same topic for my Master of Education (2003). I produced CD Roms ("Seasons of Fruitfulness" '02,120 images and text, "Living in Paradise and Still Complaining"'03, 58 images, "Something about Mary" '04, 100 images and text.) collected in New Zealand, U.K. and U.S.A. I have taught at The School of Art, University of Tasmania, TAFE (Photography, Graphic Design, Communications, Drawing, Creative Writing and Publishing 1972-2003) and schools. I now paint and write.
My work has developed strongly in the last five years, since using oils and enlarging the format. My style moves from detailed illustration to more simple symbols, while retaining the vibrant colour I always love. Content of this exhibition (all 2005), includes forest landscape, coastal scenes and expressive moody illustrations. There is a story in each piece, which can be interpreted for psychological meanings, as in all art. Magazines continue my Writing/Graphics expression. Part of the fun of viewing is in interpretation of the artist's meanings through the viewer's life experiences.
