our exhibition at Breathing Colours

Rodney and I were in Sydney last weekend for the official opening of our exhibition at Breathing Colours on Saturday afternoon. A good crowd attended and we had some sales...yeehaaa! I sold "The Threads that run Through" along with some other work. Very pleasing to have such a positive reception!





The municipality of Leichhardt Council was having an event called "Art Month" and last weekend coincided with their artist "open studio" day so Rodney set up on the street outside the gallery and I put up my sewing  machine in the gallery and we showed visitors how we work.

I took "Valda" along to use as a work in progress to demonstrate with. The last time any work was done on the canvas was 3 months ago. In the 3 hours that we were "open studio-ing" I managed to get quite a bit done as well as chatting to people and explaining how I work to build up the layers of paint, stitch and textile.




Breathing Colours is located at 446 Darling St, Balmain, in Sydney. The show is open until late next Sunday afternoon, April 7th.
