 An amazing desert journey - starting at Yuendemu up north of Alice on the Tanami Track - volunteer work at Warlukurlangu Art Centre mixing paints, priming canvasses - a strong art community run by a dedicated and passionate group of women - other community features being packs of dogs roaming the streets, and desert dingoes howling...... the bush bus was an experience in itself...

Then travelled with Jane Canfield, Margot Turner and Karen Swaffer and Indigneous guide and artist Vincent Forrester, from Alice through Kings Canyon, Angus Downs to Uluru.......

What an amazing spiritual and physical journey as Vincent gave us an incredible insight into his rich culture - from fauna, flora, bush medicine, politics, art - to Native Title lands where we felt most privileged to have an insight into this land...

Check out my blog...... and don't hesitate to email if you'd like more information. We will be featuring in a group show - Jane, Vincent, Karen and I towards the end of the year in Desert Reflections - from photography, figurative and abstract art; to Indigenous paintings.......

I picked up some amazing camel bones in the desert....... beware the upcoming sculptures......

Jane Canfield's show "Sydney and Surrounds" finishes this weekend (first of July) - if you have missed it, make sure you plan a visit. Hat Hill Gallery, Blackheath. Hugely successful and inspirational - Jane now moves into planning the Desert Reflections show to be held later in the year.......
