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…

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…
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…

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…

We are a diverse group and depending on how you do the numbers, linoprints outweighed other processes. Cholena had a large multipiece cyanotype work…
Collectables 2019
I think this is the fifth year of the Maleny Printmakers ‘Collectables’ exhibition. Each year the printmakers all make around five or so different original, handprinted prints in editions of 10. They are only small – 13.5cms x 11.5cms – and at $30 each they sell well. They have found their followers, and of course,…
On being part of the crowd
Almost all of the exhibitions I’ve been in have been group exhibitions. My work stands on it’s own in amidst other artists work. Sometimes there is a theme – and sometimes there isn’t. However two of the exhibitions I’ve been involved with are different. My work has been part of a project as well as…
