    So what’s everyone doing on the eve of a long week So what’s everyone doing on the eve of a long weekend? I’m getting ready for something special at QG. QG Homage to Geelong Gallery’s Discovering the Impressionists a group exhibition. We will be elebrating the enduring influence of Impressionism—one of art’s most luminous and transformative eras. Inspired by Geelong Gallery’s landmark exhibition Discovering the Impressionists: Paul Durand-Ruel and Sir Arthur Streeton’s ‘honeymoon’ etchings, QG represented artists, reinterpret the movement’s light, colour, and immediacy through a modern lens, honouring its legacy while reimagining its spirit for today. Mark your diaries. Exhibition dates: Jul 9 – Aug 10, 2026.

    Queenscliff Gallery Focus: Corridoi Luminosi | Lum Queenscliff Gallery Focus: Corridoi Luminosi | Luminous Corridors Exhibition dates: May 28 – Jun 15, 2025 Join Soula in the gallery between 11 am and 3 pm each weekend. Sketched in situ and completed in my Queenscliff studio, my current body of work began with the quiet act of walking, observing, and sketching in Cortona and Siena, Italy. Falling in Italy’s stride is easy for me. Inside the walled cities, I observe deeply and connect respectfully (and, most of the time, in awe).

    I just had to share this incredible news because i I just had to share this incredible news because it’s truly remarkable not only for me but also for everyone who has contributed to and collaborated with me on creating My Health Story (MHS). After years of building @myhealthstorymhs, the online system and app have been selected for Melbourne Design Week, Australia’s biggest design event. As if this isn’t great enough news, what really gets me excited is the theme of this national event: Design the World You Want. That’s what I’ve been trying to do since my 4.5-year misdiagnosis left me with (what is looking to be) a lifelong chronic illness. Are your ears ringing right now? No, not because an old wives’ tale suggests someone is talking about you, but because, like me, you have sensory issues, among other symptoms of neuropathic pain as a result of misdiagnosis – I have Notre Dame in my ears right now!! And all this could have been avoidable for me had I received more effective care. So the world I want to design includes a better way for individuals and their care teams to communicate, which is key to higher-quality care. My new world helps transform a current ‘sick’ system into a healthy one – as it should be! How do I see this happening? Come and see! Or tune in to the live Q&A event via Zoom – it’s just $10. All the event info can be viewed on the official Melbourne Design Week program. Or hit the link in the bio. You can also look for My Health Story on the #eventbrite website. $10!!! Thankyou❤️ #melbournedesignweek2026 #melbournedesignweek #ngv @ngvmelbourne
