It was so much...

...fun that I'd like to do it all over again!

The opening of  'Students. Teacher. Play.',,,

last week at Centre 64 was wonderful.  With a host of attendees, dozens of mixed media artworks, a dozen artists and incredible refreshments, how could it have been anything else?

At the entrance - that stunning painting on the right is 'Alice in Wonderland' by Alice Saltiel

Here's Lynne Mizera with her Graffiti Roses

Judy Walker (l) and Gerry Forget (r), two of the artists

I'm toasting the opening (and the guests) in front of Midnight Garden V (yup - I think it's the last Midnight Garden - maybe)  Photo by Judy Dahl

Doesn't this spread look amazing?  The volunteers at Centre 64 did a terrific job.  Between this, the wine and the punch, there was nothing lacking at all!

The appies were amazing - photo by Alice Saltiel

Thanks to those of you who made a trip (short or long) to attend - it would be hard to express how much it was appreciated.  If you've not yet seen the show, it's open until September 24 - well worth the look!

NB.  All uncredited photos by John Dinn, unless I've really goofed up on my notes!

Show me...

...we all want to see it, right?

Well, this month you'll get your chance when the show 'Students. Teacher. Play.'  runs at Centre 64 in Kimberley.  With fourteen artists participating, you know it's going to be eclectic and energizing.

All participants are students who've participated in my playshops over the past years, and have taken the mixed media bug for their own.  The thirteen artists, Alice Saltiel, Alison Bjorkman, Anne Fetterley, Darcy Wanuk, Gerry Forget, Judy Dahl, Judy Walker, Laura Leeder, Louise Olinger, Lynne Mizera, Meg Nicks, Sue Pighin and myself have all caught the virus, and you'll see the following (and much more):

Do please come and meet the artists, view the show, and spend a playful afternoon on Saturday, September 3, 2016 from 2 - 4 pm.  We'd love to meet you there!
