Gallery 11:11
Together with five other local and international artists I participated in a successful exhibition with Gallery 11:11 in Epping during the the last weekend in November. Owned and managed by Melony Smirnio, Gallery 11:11 is, "a purpose built gallery designed to inspire and sustain artists, while facilitating a meaningful and deeper connection with their audience. Our stable of artists have work available to view both online and in person by appointment and we also open the gallery monthly hosting exhibitions and events for guest Artists.”

Pittwater Artists Trail
This was another successful year for the Pittwater Artists Trail (PAT). Coordinated by Jan Cristaudo and Karen Hick, it consisted of three key events . First was the Group Exhibition Held at the Newport Community Centre from 15 to 17 march. The Exhibition was opened by Katherine Roberts from Manly Art Gallery & Museum, and attracted many hundreds of visitors over the weekend. This was followed in July and November by two “Open Studio Weekends" where the public is invited to visit the various artists’ studios, meet the artists and purchase their art if so inclined.

Across The Nullarbor
In May 2023, my husband, Joe, and I embarked on an extensive road trip of some 14,000km Across the Nullarbor, from Sydney to Albany in south-western Western Australia, then as far north as Exmouth before returning via Kalgoorlie and back across the Nullarbor. The trip exposed me to an incredible variety of stunning landscapes and almost endless of inspiration for my art.
