WAYS OF BEING - Mid-exhibition drinks

 

Shane Jones and I


Featured here are a selection of happy snaps from last Saturday’s mid-exhibition gathering at Stephen McLaughlan Gallery. Huge thanks to everyone who dropped by and made it so much fun, including Gracia Haby and Louise Jennison, Elaine and Peter Haby, Bryan Putt, Megan Finlayson, Vanessa Taylor, Veronica Loew, Cresside Collette, Angela Cavalieri, Annette Burns (a former fellow student from my art school days) arts writer Inga Walton and family members Rosemarie and James Jones (all pictured below).


Among other visitors were Melbourne-based artists Jim Pavlidis and Graeme Drendel and Ballarat-based artist Debbie Hill and her husband Stephen (not pictured).


After the opening event on December 7, I realised that I didn’t have a photo of my partner Shane Jones and I together. Many thanks to Stephen McLaughlan for taking the one shown here (top image) and for hosting yesterday’s soirée. 


My gratitude to everyone who has visited the exhibition so far, including those who have made multiple visits and those who have acquired works. 


WAYS OF BEING continues to Christmas Eve. There’s no substitute for IRL, but for those who can’t make it, individual works can be viewed by clicking HERE.
