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).

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.

This new studio is being renovated as we speak and ready to move into 2nd week of March.

There will be 6 studios ranging from $80 - $120.

Soon a new kitchen and lounge area will be installed with outside “wet work” area and BBQ.

I really want a handful of practicing artists/designers that can bring inspiration and flavour to the space.

Please email me if interested.

On Vere Street close to Smith St - amazing light.
