Winsor and Newton Acquisitions

In the midst of pre-exhibition nerves prior to my solo show at Tacit Contemporary Art (see Blog Post Wednesday, August 31) I've received some terrific news. Three of my Winged Womenlinocuts have just been acquired by Winsor and Newton Australia.

Originally flown to Jasco headquarters in Sydney for the July launch of Windsor and Newton's Pigment Markers, they were destined never to return – and I couldn’t be more thrilled.

Linocut Workshop at the National Gallery of Victoria

Pictured below are a selection of Moth Women Vigilantes and Winged Women demonstration blocks ready and set for the linocut class I'm giving for NGV members at the National Gallery of Victoria tonight from 6 - 8.30 pm.

The workshops are aimed at beginners. Participants will make their own linocut, which they will learn to print without the need of a press. I'll be running another session next Wednesday evening. Both classes are now sold out. To those who are participating, I look forward to seeing you there.
