ABOUT YOUR ART PRACTICE

• Mixed Media
• Mosaics

Cue WA, 650km NE of Perth, was a prosperous gold mining town in the late 1800’s. Dreams came true with the finding of glittering gold. Fortunes were made and lost. Treasures bought and sold.

In the vast scenic landscape of rugged rocks and red dirt, under brilliant blue skies and colossal cloud formations, is where my treasure is found - fragments of precious porcelain, glazed pottery, rusty metal, coloured stone and my favourite – glass in all its hues, patterns, shapes and textures.

As I collected my treasures, I became aware of how these pieces could have been a prized glass vase or bowl, a favourite cup or plate, an adored jug - treasures belonging to the women of that gold rush time. Thoughts of the happiness and the inevitable hardships that these women, especially of this area, must have experienced in times gone by stayed with me.

My assemblages are created and named with reverence and respect to all those women, that finally their most precious pieces are not lost and forgotten but have new life.

My studio at The Hive, Auger Way West is my happy place.

Assemblage is an artistic form or medium usually created on a defined substrate that consists of three-dimensional elements projecting out of or from the substrate. It is part of the visual arts and it typically uses found objects, but is not limited to these materials.

More than mosaics, these found treasures have been given new life. I invite you to wander gently through memories. Tread softly for these are dreams broken.

Uploading your images

The process has changed a little this year;

Step 1 – Add 1 image that best represents your work for the printed Event Guide

Step 2 – Add an additional 9 artwork images and studio portraits for our marketing team

Step 3 – Add up to 10 images for your website listing – they can be the same or different to the images above

Step 4 – Add one main image for your website listing.

Each image must be 300dpi, between 2.5MB and 5MB, and formatted as a jpeg file.

Re-name all files to include your name, artwork title, year created, medium and size before uploading e.g., Jane Doe_Wild Seascapes_2018_Oil on canvas_10x10cm.

Please ensure the filenames contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores or hyphens. Special characters such as punctuation will cause the upload to fail.

Please add a photographer credit to the file name if required by the photographer.

(Note: we love to use smiling, welcoming studio portraits to promote MRROS on social media)

My Exhibition space is located at the stunning Olio Bello and I am more than delighted to be there. I welcome you to come to see my art and stay to enjoy the cafe and the gardens - even book a night in their charming farm stay. It is a most wonderful setting.

I plan to demonstrate the creation of my art using found treasures.
