Coming soon! Every year since 2017, I’ve shown a group show in September/October. I’m excited because in 8 weeks we have 8 artists who will be exhibiting new works as part of a themed show. Our tiny gallery will be transformed into a bird’s wonderland with artists from around Australia.

On Wednesday, I’ll share a sneak preview post from a well known jewellery maker who is Melbourne based. I’m excited as I’m receiving images of artworks being created. Think glass, paintings, paper, print media, fine art and ceramics. Bring on Spring 🌸.

Hello everyone, it’s lovely to be back in Canberra and getting into my sabbatical to focus on making new ceramic works. I had a wonderful time in Kyoto, Japan. I felt at home. I was quite nervous about going. I’m not good with languages, crowds or some foods. By day 3, I was pretty much a convert and ate many a vegetarian meals. I tasted a Tofu that was perfect. A specialty pancake with this weird girl next to me. A fabulous vegetarian meal which Kerist had found in a hidden cafe above a popular home/clothing shop. And so much more. Enjoy!

What does an art gallery director do on a holiday? She has coffee in a cute cafe, checks out boutique art & design shops, photographs architecture and visits the Kyoto Arts Centre. Then a yummy lunch before heading back to the hotel. Loving Kyoto and all that it has to make experiences meaningful. Photos have more deets ☺️.

This is Miho Museum up in the mountains outside of Kyoto in the Shigaraki neighborhood of the city of Kōka, in Shiga Prefecture. It’s an art museum and architecturally striking from the moment you start to walk up via a tunnel which it alone was very artistic. Once inside, we saw the Tales of Ancient Gold. No photos were allowed so I can’t show how exquisite and intricate the jewellery pieces were. But this link tells you more https://www.miho.jp/en/exhibition/spring2026/

I don’t think it can get any better or bigger than Mt Fuji. A lovely elderly man bobbed his head so I could get photos from his window seat. He could see I was clearly a first time visitor. He told me wait to get closer shots and this is the one I landed with - he loved my photo. In my excitement I thought I was thanking him when in fact I was saying goodbye. His quizzical face meant a quick translation on google and I nearly fell over! I had confused Sayonara (which meant goodbye forever!) instead of saying Arigato (thank you). I quickly corrected myself and he was quite amused. A beautiful welcome to Japan - my first visit ever.

One of our lovely clients (and their dog 🐾) bought Mi: mini (Women). They loved the colours, story behind the painting and meeting Amanda at our private opening. I often invite visitors to our private opening as its a chance to enjoy a special evening with the artist/s in a relaxed setting - no one in Canberra can say their gallery opening is in a garage! Except ours is turned into a bar, music and carpet rolled out (grey pretending it’s red ☺️).

We are open 11am, Monday 4 May till 5pm and this will be your last day to visit in-person. My GOST news coming out this Tuesday will reveal what I’ll be doing over the coming months.
