I am very excited to smell Violet! I am sure she will be as amazing in a bottle as she is on the wall 🥰

If you haven’t yet had the opportunity to linger awhile with The Adventures of Violet, our current exhibition at MOCO Gallery, don’t miss it.

It is simply stunning. The longer you look, the more you see — layers of detail, depth and little discoveries that seem to reveal themselves slowly.

Take your time. Look a little closer. Let yourself be drawn into Violet’s world.

Deeply beautiful. Wonderfully enchanting.
Don’t miss it before it goes.

When inspiration hits 💜
I have a side hustle as an art gallery curator at the MOCO Gallery Halls Gap and I recently hung an exhibition of works by Ros McArthur titled The Adventures of Violet.
It's about a girl who encounters all sorts of weird and wonderful things and people.
I decided to design a perfume for it (even though the exhibition will be over before the perfume is ready for sale 🤷🏻‍♀️) and oh my is it delicious! I could not stop smelling my arm yesterday! I even tested it on the arm of our wool classer and despite an afternoon in the shearing shed working up a sweat, it could still be smelled hours later.
Violet is mysterious and adventurous with a surprising bright spark, and I can't wait for you to try it 💜👱🏼‍♀️

Hanging alongside 's contemporary The Adventures of Violet exhibition, are paintings of a very different - yet still intriguing and wonderful - kind.
Stepping Into Spring, featuring this stunning arrangement titled 'Stolen Moments' is a homage to not only the talents of Grampians artist Ros McArthur, but also of this gorgeous world we live in.
The MOCO Gallery is open from 10am to 5pm every day these school holidays, why not make a point of visiting to see these beautiful artworks in person 🌼
