So I got myself all dolled up Saturday afternoon to take photos of my new dress. I planned to head into the CBD earlier than my dinner companions - meet the little one's boyfriend night with my sisters and the boys - for drinkies with a friend.
Two seconds after arranging to meet in the city at 5, the heavens opened and ... read more Looking for artist/designer to share large studio in these new art studios comprising of 6 separate spaces.

I had a lot of fond memories of eating at Guru da Dhaba in Johnston St. I met my now sister-in-law there for the first time, had many a boozy boozy dinner and the first meal in our new house was take-away from there, ate in the back garden while slugging champagne. A little while back I phoned Guru to order some take-away and the phone was disconnected. Odd. I walked past a few days later and the place was boarded up.
Soon enough, a new Indian restaurant emerged there, Tandoori Station. I decided to wait it out before giving it ... read more

Trippy Taco is a fun place to take friends visiting from interstate. Over the long weekend I met some visiting friends on Smith St and we brunched at Trippy Taco, sharing the breakfast tamales (declared the winning dish), taquitos and the fried tofu burrito (very delicious). Then we had a wander through the shops and enjoyed the hail storm…

I’ve been walking past a suggestion box in High St, Westgarth for a long time now, and was curious about who put it there. Thankfully, Off The Kerb have solved the mystery for me…
The boxes were installed in various locations by Nick Ilton. His intent was to encourage people to stop and contemplate, and, judging by the brief lifespan of his previous public art pieces (anyone remember the square bicycle in the racks at the State Library?), he did not expect them to last very long. Suprisingly, the boxes are still in place, and Nick received many suggestions. These were written on whatever the author had handy, as no paper ... read more
I am exhibiting in two group exhibitions during March.
The first is at APW Gallery in long Island City, New York (yes the big apple) in the World of Imagination Vol 3. The work for this exhibition is different to my usual work in that I have experimented with paint.
The second is a group exhibition at the Pine Street Creative Arts Centre (64 Pine Street, Chippendale NSW) titled “the artist and the sea”. The exhibition opens on the 10th March and closes on the 20th March.
