Australia
Below is a short blog I posted for my New Mexican friends. I thought you might like to see my latest digital artwork.
Australia is a constitutional monarchy. Our figurehead is the British Queen, Elizabeth 2. Many of our countrymen and women would like to see Australia become a Republic. Others enjoy the 'pomp and ceremony' and history that we share with the 'Motherland', as people once called Britain. This, my most recent work, is titled 'Flora's Crown'.

Moreton Bay Art Awards
This week I have been trying to get a work ready for the Moreton Bay Art Awards.I had a few print dramas though and consequently ran out of time to get one in the mail. I wanted to send a print down to a framer in Strathpine and have them deliver the finished work to the gallery. Works were due in today.
So, I drove to Brisbane yesterday.
When the framer and I saw the second print under overhead lights, we decided to have a new one printed by a local printer. So, with that arranged, I left to meet the printer. He was very helpful and said he would deliver the print to the framer late that afternoon.
Today the work will be framed and then delivered to the gallery.
On my way home I dropped off my tins for the 'renew' exhibition at Hervey Bay Regional Gallery. I will come back to the gallery next week to set up the 'Citadels'.
I had time to drop in to a couple of charity shops, and true to my beliefs, two fabric bride's horseshoes turned up!!
I chose the one that is completely white as it doesn't compete with the other parts of The Bride. It almost becomes invisible. The horseshoe and the wishbone add to the symbolism already in the work. So I will leave The Bride set up this way and see if I have to make any changes later in the week.

The opening
There has been a lot of people visiting the exhibition in the last couple of days and they have been responding to the works very positively. The works open up a dialogue about the past, families and the ever-changing role of women.
The curator Tracey,has been encouraging me to investigate the possibility of touring this exhibition, and this would be a very positive outcome. She has been amazing to work with. She even went to the trouble to provide several tins off biscuits for the opening feast!
A print/poster was purchased and is going to a lovely home.
It will be interesting to see what transpires over the next month that the exhibition is installed for. Now I can move forward to my next project. I will tell you about that shortly.
Thanks for your support and encouragement!
