Hi everyone, I hope you and yours are doing well. For me February and March has been a blur, with events to photograph, as you would have seen in my last post - Photography Action and Celebrating International Women's Day - and lots of other things on the go.
On Saturday 22nd March I was again exhibiting in Banksia Street as part of the Tree Street Art Safari in Bunbury. This is an annual event which I have been participating in since 2018. I didn't realise it had been so long. My wonderful hosts Maggie and Alex welcome me to their garden for the exhibition market every year. It really was a gift when I was teamed with them back in 2018. I really cannot thank Maggie and Alex enough for their support. I've blogged about the Art Safari before - Tree Street Art Safari 2023
This is a wonderful event where residents in the beautiful leafy heritage Tree Street area host artists in their gardens. This year I was there with two other artists Heidi Hall and Romminy O'Çonnor.
I was there with my usual bits and pieces - original photography prints on paper, cushion covers, tote bags and greeting cards, botanical eco-prints on wool and silk scarves, paper, greeting cards, tote bags and upcycled tops (wearable art!), and cyanotype sun prints on paper, greeting cards and tote bags. Even hand folded paper flowers (the little girls love them) - something for everyone!
A huge thankyou to our hosts Maggie and Alex, the Tree Street Art Safari committee, everyone who visited, it was lovely to chat with you and share my art, thankyou for your lovely comments and especially those who purchased something from me - I treasure you all. A huge thankyou for the support of my wonderful husband, without whom none of this would be possible.
Strangely I have never taken a photo of my hosts glorious back yard - absolutely full of huge shady trees and shade loving plants - an peaceful oasis in the city.
It has been a hectic time getting ready over the last couple of months, especially more since in 2 weekends time I will be exhibiting at the Dardanup Art Trail over the weekend of 4-5 April. At the same time I am the Secretary of the Photography Group of Bunbury - which is also keeping me busy. We would love to hitch up our caravan and go away and relax somewhere - anywhere!

It sounds like you've been making the most of the local gems around you. The wearable arts are just dazzling and enchanting.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic range of art! So much going on! You're so talented, and the pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHello Jill
ReplyDeleteI love all your art, the prints, clothes, the tote bag and flowers are lovely. I love the sculpture by the bay, the cute Gnome and the flock of Black Swans. Have a great day and happy week ahead.
You're also very creative! I think this is a wonderful way to display or even sell your work.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment.
Best regards
