Am I Streeton inspired? Of course! And as the gallery Director of QG&W I not only had the privilege to place myself as part of the Streeton Prints artists in residence project but I also felt I needed to - a kind of practice to my preach. With Theo as my printer (and my little bit more) I'm finally looking forward to [...]

Sending out a huge thanks to Louise, David and crew at St. Luke Artist Colourmen and Langridge Artist Supplies. Who would have thought that all that chronic pain [...]
by Penni PappasIt's the story you've now heard many times before, but Penni Pappas felt she needed to feature our 'Good Life' with the excuse of today's official opening of The Greek-Australian Cultural League's Antipodean Palette Exhibition 2014. Although the last seven years have been a gruelling and most stressful time for us, we now believe the worst is over, and it's time [...]
