A Flood of Events

While a digger grumbles away out my Studio window sorting the damage from December’s devastating flood I prepare for a flood of exhibitions.​
​(See my previous blog “A Summer Flood” for more details of Cyclone Ruby’s visit to our valley) 

Thanks to those that supported the Aid Through Art online Exhibition raising funds for families impacted by the war in Ukraine. Your support is appreciated by me, the other artists, the organisers and the families who will benefit. I do love these win:win situations.
