A Long Time Coming


I've just put my first group of original collages in the shop. It's taken me 18 months to take the final step from a lifetime of heartfelt desire to truly putting myself out there. What a journey it's been. So many steps forward and many back. Hope, doubt, discovery, fear, belief, tears and more. This little group of collages contains them all.


Each collage is numbered, signed and dated as part of a series of 8. If you want to own one of the first pieces of artwork I've sold pop over to the shop.


Happy, happy day.

  10. Oh, well done for taking that great big scary leap - much better than a serious case of 'what if?'. Love love love the fairy one especially (I do believe).

  15. Oh Congratulations!!!!! That's fantastic - I LOVE that flower one. Oh, and hey I almost forgot to tell you, I had a TV crew here yesterday filming for The Great South East, and they wanted a shot of my sewing area. There was no way I was letting them see my real (UGLY) sewing space, so I made a pretend one that was all bright and pretty in the lounge room. And I used the collage you made me to decorate the sewing table (it is sitting in a mini-easel). So hopefully it will end up on the tele!!! Doesn't screen until 5th July but I will try and tape it, and if your collage is in any of the shots I will send you a copy of the show :)
