Selection for Australia Wide Five

1 August 2016 Filed Under: Australia Wide Five, Education, Exhibitions, Inspiration

As a curator, I understand the challenges in planning and administering an exhibition especially a touring exhibition covering multiple venues.  That’s why I value the exhibition opportunities offered by Ozquilt Network Inc, Australia’s organisation for art quilters.

Out and About: Mount Penang Gardens

4 July 2016 Filed Under: Inspiration, Out & About

A Garden Day

2 February 2015 Filed Under: Inspiration, Out & About

On my last day in New Zealand, I took an excursion to the Auckland Botanic Gardens in Manurewa with my mother and grandmother – three generations of first born daughters.  The rose gardens were a little past their prime but still full of colour.  Appropriately, this floribunda variety is called My Mum: And there were […]
