The Maleny Printmakers ‘Collectables 2022’ has been and gone – it is always a delightful little exhibition of small prints 13.5 x 11.5 cms in size and has a good following. This year it was at Munnimbah-dja an indigenous run gallery in the ‘little red house’ in the Forest Heart nursery grounds at Maleny. I…

Flying flags
There is a US Facebook page called World Cyanotype Day and each year they put together an exhibition of cyanotype flags. As a spin-off from this Doug Spowart and Victoria Cooper have started an Australian version of World Cyanotype Day on their Facebook page The Cyanotype in Australia. This year I decided to join in…
Reptiles and Amphibians
The Maleny Printmakers are back in the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve gallery with their exhibition Reptiles and Amphibians. Both numbers of artists and works were less than usual due to the uncertainties of Covid-19 from the point of view of ‘will the exhibition be cancelled due to lockdown’ and vagaries of health and sometime lack…
Meet the Cool Locals
Arts Connect Inc. are back at Mary Cairncross, and although I haven’t seen all their exhibitions, this has to take the cake for being quirky, creative and slightly vulnerable due to Covid. The exhibition is called Meet the Cool Locals – and not just cool in a trendy sort of sense, but ‘cool’ as our…

Bugs in the System
The Maleny Printmakers current exhibition at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, Maleny, is called ‘Bugs in the System’. If you are looking for us we are in the theatrette next to the observation platform which is above the cafe. It’s a good coffee stop – and with glorious views to the Glasshouse Mountains. I’m on duty…
The Overwintering Project
It was rather exciting to see that $13,000 had been raised by The Overwintering Project and given to the Australasian Wader Studies Group today. The art project is run by Kate Gorringe-Smith and I would have to admit that I really don’t know just how the money is raised, but I do know that it…
Artist of the month
One of the art groups that I belong to allows us to have the spotlight now and again and exhibit as the Artist of the Month. This month I have the opportunity to arrange my works on the wall where they can be seen by not only the members of the Fine Art group but…
Feathers of the Forest
Printmakers with work on display are Cholena Drew Hughes, Dianne Collier, Gerry Luhman, Jenni Matthews, myself, Jillian Bergman, Julie Hanrahan, Karen Shaw, Lois Collins, Neville Field, Nicky Carey and Sylvia Mekhitarian.
