PATTERNS AND TONES

  Opening night for my solo exhibition "Patterns and Tones for A Paper Ballet"  on  Saturday June 21, 2025 was well received indeed. Friends and family came from far and wide to help me celebrate three bodies of work which cohesively came together in one exhibition. I was delighted to see members of the Kipaipai and Shoebox art community, as well as gallery owners, collectors and art critics. It was truly a memorable evening.

It has always been about the light. I was born from the light, from my mother Lucia. I follow the light... It always catches my eye.    It has been quite some time since I last blogged about my artwork. It seems like forever and a day. After my exhibition of my embroidered portraits, "Home as Hat - Flora as Fashion", at the end of 2019, Covid hit a few months later. In the 18 months of isolation that followed, I began to evaluate the trajectory of my creative pursuits. I have always seen myself as a fine art photographer but as I looked at the work I had created over the past decade, I could see that I was yearning to pursue something in a 3 dimensional form.
