Looking to the future

The closing day of CODA, at Stephen McLaughlan Gallery, Melbourne on Saturday, February 8 couldn’t have ended on a happier note. 

Pictured above, L-R: Spring Growth and Acanthus, both 2024, acrylic on canvas panel, 30.5 x 30.5 cm.

CODA also featured works by Helen McInnis, Peter Brook, Robert Colvin, Nicholas Elliott and Warren Nichols. 

A big thank you to Stephen for having us. 

CODA and WAYS OF BEING, my solo exhibition that immediately preceded it, marked the first stage of a new beginning. 

Now to move on to the next phase with an open mind, a stout heart, a free spirit, and as little baggage as possible, remembering always the importance of play and experimentation, of trusting in the process and myself. It will require stepping back for awhile and working in my own good time, free from the constraints of external deadlines. I’m excited (and not a little nervous) to see where it will take me.
