Christmas ideas - support a local artist

Blackfisharts Gallery is a new place where i have been placing artworks made available and selling now.  It is being regularly updated as i find, record and load artworks.  A few artworks are up on  blackfisharts tasmania site  -  there are  paintings  across media such as acrylic, oil, pastel featuring abstracts,  pears  and landscape. and  prints , most being one of a kind monoprints or digital.  Textiles  are new to the site - years of slow stitching at night culminate in wall hangings such as these.  The section  Collage  includes the textiles due to the way they are worked - a few analogue collages are loaded on the site.
