Once Upon photos

Some lovely photos of the 'Once Upon' opening night, taken by my talented photographer friend Jason de Plater.
The first two pics are of me, the first one is me with my artwork, and the bottom picture is people mingling outside the gallery.

Once Upon- tantaliser

Finally finished my pieces for the Once Upon exhibition. So I thought I'd share a sneak peak image, which includes unfinished pieces, just to get you curious. If you are in Sydney you HAVE to go!! Otherwise, I will share the final pieces after the show.
I think my work is beginning to evolve and I can't wait to share these.

the first sneak peak

Well I'm working hard to get my illustrations done for the Once upon exhibition, now with one illustration down and 3 to go. I was struggling a little with my second drawing, as I had an idea but nothing I was doing seemed to be working out, perhaps I just need a break from it. But today, I finally cracked it, I think, and it seems to be working out, so in celebration I thought I'd share a small sneak peak of the beginnings of an illustration. (Just to give you a glimpse of the early stages) Oh by the way, I don't think I mentioned, my theme is princess and the pea :)

Once Upon Exhibition

Feeling disheartened by the “Sydney Art Scene” Renee Anne and Angela D’Alton (of Leeloo) decided to hold the exhibition to celebrate Leeloo’s 2^nd birthday, in one of Sydney’s best underground venues supporting struggling artists, aMBUSH gallery. Fast forward a few months, over 100 submissions and a lot of headaches later, Renee and Angela have curated 38 of the finest Australian artists participate in the ‘Once Upon’ exhibition which will no doubt be a highlight on the Sydney art calendar. Including some of Australia’s top emerging talent, amongst newcomers, with a wide variety of styles.

Each artist has been allocated their own fairy tale to interpret, and 30 of the artists will create four original and new artworks to exhibit. Also due to the volume of submissions, there will also be ‘On The Wall’, where a further 8 artists involved will submit one piece to be included.

Opening Night: Thursday November 19th. at aMBUSH gallery from 6pm-9pm.

The show will continue to open daily from Friday to Sunday, and there will be a Leeloo ‘Pop up store’ for the public to have a hands-on look at some of our gorgeous online goodies.

I'm very excited about the upcoming ‘Once Upon‘, exhibition. In which I will be one of the exhibiting artists (my first exhibition!!!) and I also got to design and illustrate this poster for the event, which was a lot of fun. Forth Thread (which I am part of) are also proud supporters of the event.
