I have an exhibition coming up Feb 26th at G3 in Parkdale. I'm very excited about it and saw the gallery when Jo Linsdell exhibited there. I love its intimate feel and the fact that it's local and connected to my community. I'll have a selection from the work I've been doing recently. And it's my birthday as well so a real celebration (day after, but close enough) Put it in your diaries as I'd love to celebrate with you.

I had the privilege of interviewing Wayne Crothers, curator for NGV Asian Collection for 'Arts Weekly', 3MBS Fine Music - Melbourne on Tuesday (103.5 in Melbourne) yesterday. He was fascinating to talk to and gave a wonderful insight to Takahiro Iwasaki's Reflection Model (Itsukushima), commissioned by National Gallery of Victoria

The Toyota community Spirit Sculpture exhibition will be on till March next year. I have a piece in it which was my first sculpture (in my adult life at least) and most certainly not my last. The judge was William Kelly OAM an wonderful artist and he spoke brilliantly. He said that when he short listed he came down to 20, and then he trimmed the list again and came down to 10... till he came up with the winner.
 I was there with Stewart and his mother Sandra and we were about to leave when i thought I would pause and introduce myself to the judge.
 I'm so pleased I did because he told me that my piece was in his final 10. When I was younger I would never have dreamed of introducing myself. The great thing about getting older is that you simply do far more what you want and if you think someone will be interesting....like William Kelly....then you say hi.
