Bentley Harmony Day 2013

This was our 4th Harmony Day event and a brilliant success it was!  I was once again fortunate enough to be the Community Artist for this event. There were four schools involved in this year's school project: 'Things that Fly' Bentley Primary, Al Hidayah Islamic School, Santa Clara Primary and Rehoboth Christian School.  The work was hung on our old Hill's Hoist on the day!

As usual I was totally blown away by the imagination and quality of the works that the schools provided for the event. They are now on show in the Bentley Library.

We also ran an arts project on the day....... Action Art. Thank you to Georgia and Kero for their help running the Action Art on the day!

 The Action painting proved to be very popular on the day!

Unusual Projects

As an artist I am sometimes asked to do some unusual projects.
Over recent weeks two such unusual and interesting commitments have come my way.

The first was to honour the life of a fellow artist John Garozza who sadly died at the early age of 55. John was a wonderful generous spirit who devoted a great deal of time, energy and money to the Victoria park Centre for the Arts.  One of John's wishes was that his coffin be decorated with gargoyles  a subject which featured significantly in John's sculpture works.

Myself and SonjaVujic undertook to carry out this task for John. It was a privilege to be able to honour John's life in this small way.

The second was to design table decorations for a Pop Up Restaurant which was run by

 'At the Table'

The theme: 'A Beastly Winter Lunch' was held at Mondo De Carne, Inglewood.

The table decorations reflected the menu:

What next I wonder!!??
