This inquisitive group exhibition’s work is a multifaceted, examined and comprehensive representation that has been activated by the concept vintage. In this theme-specific exhibition the group made up of six female artists explore the relationships they have with times and places from the past, deciphering through their personal discoveries including how to make something old new again and toying around with the question “is vintage an antiquated notion?”

It comprises a number of sculptural and theme-specific photographs as well as small and large scale meticulous drawings and linocut prints, not to mention expressive paintings on both canvas and timber panels, showcasing an all-embracing exhibition to energize and awaken those notions.

Meet the Artists – Afternoon Tea @ Aspire Gallery

An afternoon tea to meet our group from the Alter-ego exhibition at Aspire Gallery to discuss our works informally is being held on Saturday 21 November 1pm – 3pm.

Alter-ego features fresh and diverse works by Queensland artists Chantel Schott, OmiLee, Hayley Groves George, Corrina McLaughlin and Megan Darr that include paintings, photography and sculpture. Within this collaboration you will encounter the artists’ vulnerabilities, fears, child-like fantasies, creative processes and personal challenges through their use of different styles and materials.

Alter-ego

Very excited to announce a new group exhibition I will be a part of in November this year, Alter-ego.

Chantel Schott, Corrina McLaughlin, Megan Darr, Hayley Groves George and Naomi Crawford will make up our group of 5, who will present 5 works, each artist will make: a landscape, an abstract work, a 3d piece, a representational or portrait and a photography piece.

Aspire Gallery in Paddington (Brisbane) will play host to this experimental exhibition from 4-21 November 2015.

Stay tuned….

Abstract expression

I have been drawn to and intersted in abstract creations of late, which has led me to experiment with my own abstract expression. I am currently in the process of moving and I am so looking forward to setting up my studio again, throwing the paint around and seeing where it takes me…
