Beasts running rampant

Hi all…have been fiendishly busy the last few months, I promise I’ll check everyone’s new art out soon.

In the meantime, lots happening.

Firstly: Gallery 696 in Brunswick is having a birthday show tomorrow night (April 1st) from 6-9pm.
Lots of us have painted a greyscale piece to match the new graf wall art, and some matchboxes – yep, painting on matchboxes. Here’s a sneak peek of mine:

Flyer for the show:

Secondly: I’m in Curvy!!

Curvy is a yearly compilation of female artists and designers from around the world – produced by YEN magazine.
I’m pleased to be a featured artist in it with an interview, and there’s a launch happening in Sydney this thursday night (April 2nd) at Mori Gallery from 8-11pm, 168 Day street. I have three pieces in this show, looks like a doozy.
More info and pics from last year’s launch are here. If you’re in Syd, come by!

Thirdly: Gallery 696 are having a ladies show, April 8th – 15th. I’m putting 3 pieces in this one.

Fourthly.....sigh…...........Art Melbourne!
April 16-19, at the Exhibition Centre.
I’m putting 14 pieces into the the Brunswick Street Gallery Stand.
It was a really cool and inspiring event last year, well worth coming by and seeing the awesome work from all over Australia. Site is here

Then rest time :)

    Well done Kaitlin! I’m sorry I’ll miss the first exhibition but I can make the second one as I’ll be in Melbourne then – my bunnies are invading BSG! And I’m volunteering to help at the Art Fair on VIP night so I’ll see your artwork there – and maybe you as well?
    You’re a diver? I’ve just caught the bug myself. I saw a Blue Devil at the weekend and am feeling very chuffed.

    yep i went on saturday, it was supposed to be open but no one had turned up from curvy (must have been a big party)... so i had to talk the gallery owner into letting us in :P

  • Firedrake replied

    HAHA Well wherever they partied, it wasn’t at the show – the bar was dry by 9pm! Hope you enjoyed it once you got in, hehe

    I’m sure you’ll understand why I didn’t go to your exhibition. There aren’t any buses from here :) I hope it was a big success.
