CURVY is proud to present in conjunction with Espionage Gallery ‘Athena Nochua’, an exciting group exhibition celebrating the talents of female artists from Australia and around the globe.
‘Athena Nochua’ will feature work from a selection of hand picked artists many of whom have graced a page or two of CURVY from its early beginnings in 2003. What started as an annual book and exhibition series in Sydney, Australia has now grown to become quite a hit around the globe indeed.
Included in the line-up of the 24 artists showing their works as part of Athena Nochua is well known french artist Fafi, a well loved CURVY favourite
This is the first time that CURVY is coming to Adelaide, so we hope you’ll join us at Espionage Gallery on Thursday the 13 June, to celebrate the the work of these talented female artists.

Thanks to the lovely Jenna Morris my artwork is currently inspiring the TIGI team in London!

Feeling youthful in this month's The Adelaide Magazine. There's a nice little article on the creators behind Tooth and Nail Gallery, and some of the artist spaces. Check it out!
The Majestic Minima Hotel in North Adelaide has been transformed into a creative space for guests and artists. A hand picked selection of local South Australian emerging and semi-established artists have each been commissioned to transform a room in the hotel. All 46 rooms represent the vision of these artists along the theme of 'creativity & creation'.
I was lucky to be selected as part of this exciting project. I painted Room #111 in May this year.


Went over for Sydney's Semi-Permanent last weekend and was blown away to discover one of my first collaborations still standing at Mays lane. Colours have certainly faded in 6 years but wow!

Proud to be a part of the 2013 Helpmann Academy's Maestro & Apprentice Silent Auction.

Eliza's Nest
2012
Oil on Canvas
The Mather family and I surprised Eliza last month for her 21st birthday by recreating 'Nesting';
a painting of a little laundry monster hiding in nest-like basket.
Unique to this composition is the individual items in the laundry basket.
The toy is buried in a pile of clothes belonging to the birthday girl.
Such a fun project to work on & for a lovely family! ♥
This March I'll be putting together my first solo show 'Nesting' at Urban Cow Gallery.
Will post more updates closer to the show!
