I have been looking at other peoples blogs and they look so great. I think it will take me a bit of time to get this working and how I want it to look.
Today I have my first session at the gym. I really want to get fitter and stop huffing and puffing like some kind of big bad wolf when I climb the stairs at the train station. Then maybe I can tackle some thing really amazing like walking up some mountains.

Check out my Slide Show!

my first attempt at a blog


Hi to anyone who is listening.
I am studying for a diploma of fine arts in Sydney, Australia. I found this site browsing around nd especially loved Phillip Edsons work.
I balance being an artist(am I one yet??)with my ebay business I sell whacky t-shirts, mainly of cult type tv charachters and some musicians that I like and I am also a full time mum.
I never seem to get enough time to get really into my art or is that just me procrastinating.
Sydney is a great place to live. There is a great vibe about this city and we have some great galleries and artists available just a short train ride away.
I have just recently gotten into mixed media collage type work. I needed a new direction to take my work and I am excited by texture and colour and the manipulation of objects into some kind of beautiful form.
I mainly do abstract landscape type work not formal landscapes but taking something in the landscape and making that the feature of the work. The sandstone rocks on many of the beaches here are just so amazing and the colours are wow!
I have just got back from a weeks course in northern NSW at a gorgeous little town called Bellingen. They are on every year and the course list is vast. Everything from beginners watercolour to Bollywood dancing. I did a mixed media course and loved it. We used everything and anything all those rules were thrown out the window and we had and amazing five days to play.
Hope you like the work I did.
