Last weekend's I took part in the Australian Art Show in the Royal Exhibition Building, CarltonGardens, Melbourne. It was a great weekend ... I met some inspiring people and many of my pieces found great new homes. Thank you for everyone who came along and supported me.
Sea Spiral
Generally when I start an artwork I have a pretty good idea of how it's going to turn out. But every now and then a piece will surprise me. It will start as one thing and then evolve into something else all together. My 'Sea Spiral' was one of these pieces.
Giant Coral Fan
You may have already picked up on this but .... I really love coral!
It completely fascinates me and I find it to be tremendously beautiful. Whenever I scuba dive I find myself transfixed on the coral formations I see below the surface rather than the beautiful fish and other creatures that we seek out when diving. Don't get me wrong I get excited when I see a shark or ray just as much as the next diver but I get so much out of just looking at the coral itself. While most people surface from a dive and exclaim... 'Did you see that huge groper/shark/ray etc!' I am more like 'Did you see the massive brain coral bommie!!!'
