Regular practice (even in my scattered way, having to stop or move around continuously) still leads somewhere. I’m in a very happy place after these last two paintings of Cortona (La Loggetta) and Vicolo Della Rosa, Siena.

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.

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).
