Earlier exhibitions

Eyes Wide Open 2023

This exhibition featured a miscellany of works, many resulting from a trip on the Ghan. They included images from Simpsons's Gap, The Breakaways near Coober Pedy and Katherine Gorge. There are also a number of works done with flow paints which I find both very messy and quite a lot of fun. 












Let's Get Loose with Compassion 2022 

My hope was to raise awareness of the plight of many people seeking asylum in Australia. They have left their own countries because of serious dangers there, but the Australian government policies have often provided greater trauma rather than safety. Situations vary greatly but many have experienced indefinite detention, many have not been given permission to work and many suffer poor health. Fortunately there are many in our country who, seeing these people as fellow human beings do what they can to provide justice, compassion and a warm welcome. We need the government to adopt the same approach.
 
Five women in this situation allowed me to paint them to help me raise awareness of these issues. I am very grateful to them. The five paintings are here.
