4 crazy years between 2017 and 2020 saw Fish Lane Studios and myself, Curator - Wyn Vogel - juggle cyclones, open - close studio space and re OPEN - travel to far flung parts - with Workshops and Exhibitions in France, hats off and huge thanks to Muriel Buthier-Chartrain for her faith and trust to Workshop and translate for me ..... we've pushed motor cars to motels in Coquelle and shared amazing fun catering for our Workshop Participants in her gorgeous home with her Husband Gilles and son Emile! I can't thank them enough, or my 'Participants' who ignored my lack of language and let ART do the talking - thanks to you all!

Time in Italy - showcasing our amazing Australian Artists for the last 7 years - in the most amazing setting - during FabrianoInAcquarello - Italy .... with Watercolour Artists from over 80 Countries - now some firm friends riding the waves of this pandemic via Zoom and satellite! Anna Massinissa leading and keeping us all organised can only be said to be one of the most inspiring ladies on the planet!

Richard Tiejun Chao and our Group of 8 Exhibiting in Chatswood Sydney - and to cap it off - 2 years 2018/19 the thrill of realising a childhood dream of travel to China as an Artist - and Exhibiting there in the 5th and 6th Silk Road International Arts Festival - racing home in September 2019 ........ now realising the significance of that timing!

Thanks also to an amazing man, my partner and friend in life for all the support and encouragement to keep going... even when he was finding life tough recently...... What can 4 years hold - fingers crossed much more ......... enjoy the details of some of the mix of Work that I have had the joy of creating in this time ........ Watercolour primarily but also acrylic - and experimental work with pastel and acrylic to boot .....Cheers! Here's to the next 4 years!
