Artists of the North

On Friday Night I attended the Artists of the North exhibition displayed at The Tanks, where two of my artworks are on display.  I have to say the standard of artwork from artists in North Queensland is very high.  I noticed the subject matter is very much inspired by the environment and wildlife around the Cairns area.  My own work, I feel is a bit removed from the 'Tropical North Queensland' style, however I do feel very inspired by the intensity of colour within the area.  I am really starting to find peace in the concept of becoming an artist as my career path. I was always worried that there wouldn't be a future in art for me but the more I immerse myself in the art world, the more I find that the art world in Australia is alive and thriving, and profitable even!

Down to the Market

So today with my partner in crime (Miss Ashton Rigg) at the "top of the morning" otherwise known as 5:30am we packed the car full of colourful handmade goodness made by yours truely, including beanies, cards, wrist cuffs, cuppie-cakes and some of our preloved jewellery, clothing and CD's for the punters, who were lovely enough to show up.  Overall the day was pretty miserable due to unwelcomed rain and impressive competition, but honestly I loved it, and should be marketing much more.  I sold lots of cards, clothes, shoes, jewellery and two artworks, which makes me one very happy girly.  Gotta love those tanks xx. 

Live Concert Captures

These are some live captures from the Kate Miller-Heidke gig.  Note how freely her arms are flowing and the gorgeous dress she was wearing.  I'm very happy with how these photos turned out, improved by the fact I pushed my way through to front row seats.  I almost want to go to concerts for the sake of good photos xx.
