 WELCOME .... i am moving into this new blog space to begin my year 2023 with renewed focus and energy for my arts practice and new lifestyle.


blackfish are an endangered species of fish in the rivulet that runs through our new property at Turners Beach in Tasmania. A pocket of paradise (truly) just 6 minutes from Ulverstone and 15 minutes from Devonport where we moved from.


After 12 years we moved from the Port to 25 acres of a mix of pasture and native bush, gum trees as tall as the sky, plovers, wallabies, a variety of birds and Claytons rivulet that runs through the entire property.


I have been exploring abstraction in my art for the past 18 months and will continue on that journey as well as talking about my whole arts practice. This includes collage, assemblage, poetry, textiles, handmade books and more.


It feels nice to start this new blog at Christmas time 2022 during a time of preparing for a new year, thinking about things to focus on, projects to plan, calendars to set up and a general time of renewal.


I hope you will join me in discovering daily delights that are evident and yet to be explored.

When Endangered is right in front of you

  This beauty was found on my office bench one morning this week. So intact, so beautiful. A bit of googling established it is a Bogong Moth. My studio and office is a giant shed so i find critters around from time to time and watch a spider in her webs, around my window overlooking the paddock, catch and wrap flies. I n googling i discovered the Bogong Moth is endangered and recorded my sighting on a website dedicated to tracking these amazing creatures . They aim to support Bogong Moth research, and promote Moth Tracker. Common name: Bogong moth Aboriginal name: The name Bogong is apparently derived from the language of the Dhudhuroa Nation of North Eastern Victoria. Scientific name: Agrotis infusa Population: Declining Conservation status: Endangered  Bogong moths also  provide critical food  for the critically endangered Mountain pygmy possum, lizards, antechinus (broad-toothed rat) and spiders across the Snowy Mountain region....

Turos Teszta (cream cheese pasta) - Hungarian recipe

Turos Teszta  - pasta with cream cheese I love the simplicity of this dish that speaks of winter comfort.    My mum taught me this recipe in my teens when my sister and I had to take turns to cook each weekend.- it is usually made with fettuccini, bacon, sour cream and cream cheese. I made this dish last night and have, over the. years, adapted it to bring in a range of extras. i dont use a measure and go by quantities i want for the number of people,   adjusting the additions accordingly with regard to balance and taste.    This recipe is well-suited to being a vegetarian dish by leaving out the bacon and sausage and adding other vegetables.  Questions? ask away. INGREDIENTS Fettuccini - i used Guzzi egg fettuccini (half a pack) smoked bacon - chopped into squares chorizo - chopped into half circles red onion - thinly sliced   carrot - chopped into squares or half circles mushroom - chopped into small squares broccoli tops - finely chopped cream ...

birthday #getaway #anyexcuse to drive the Diva

I am late to post but here it is.  my birthday #getaway this year was a train ride after the road trip to Queenstown. #anyexcuse to drive the Diva. We had to leave very early to make the 9.30am deadline arriving in Queenstown on time, enough to grab a coffee. The road to Queenstown is extremely winding which, needless to say, the Diva handled beautifully and V was quite happy to be driven (notwithstanding he takes calls all the time - running his car hire business on the move).  He did drive a portion of the road to give me a break over the 3.5 hours it takes. We had fun and some nice food, sparkling orange juice and Tassie chocolates.  The weather was (Tasmania) damp, chilly, not uncomfortable with random sunshine. The train trip, of 34 kilometres, on The Wilderness West Coast Railway Tasmania  is very well setup taking us through 'rugged terrain and breathtaking scenery' whilst telling of its history and that of the area.  love that little TOOT at the end We h...
