“I don’t care if you’re trying to draw... More importantly, I’m trying to sleep and your stuff is in my face.”

Saw this by a friend and thought it was brilliant, so I stole it. To anyone feeling extreme loneliness and struggling at this time, please feel free to reach out. Inbox me, text, FaceTime/Zoom/WhatsApp me or whatever application. Even a phone call! I’m here for you anytime and look forward to a chat. Expect trackies and bed hair though... Thanks @donna_racovalis x . . .

Just sayin’... . . .

I was disappointed to learn today that my entry for the Wyndham Art Prize 2020, ‘Burnt’ was not shortlisted. But with the current circumstances affecting every individual worldwide, it certainly puts what is really important into perspective. Other opportunities will come! . . .

The world is hurting, and the arts industry alongside so many others suffers too. I personally know artists and creatives who have completely lost their income. My point is this. Over the past few months I’ve been lucky to purchase original artworks by these incredibly talented locals; @claysanctuary @inkythumbstudio and @ivana_pinaffo12 If you have the ability to support a local artist, creative or musician in any way, please do. Now, more than ever. . . . . .

What more can I say. Please be mindful and respectful of each other. We’re all going through this together. If you need to spend time in isolation, then what a perfect time to create. Draw, paint, cook, garden, write, play an instrument and exercise. Creativity encourages healing and wellbeing! . . .
