Hot Press

By elise | Published: May 15, 2010

The word is spreading about the exhibition… (I’m colour-coding in my excitement). “Inpress” have an article by Tony McMahon about the show out now – it’s a free street mag that you’ll find around the city. It’s really good too – a lot of depth and thought into what the show is trying to do. [...]

Inspiration

By elise | Published: April 22, 2010

I can’t paint without music. I mean, I probably can but I wouldn’t want to. It’s the same with illustrating books and so it turns out that every book gets a soundtrack of music that keeps me in the mood. For this exhibition I seem to be hooked on… Sarah Blasko – especially As Day [...]

And I am thrilled to report that we now have a Victorian winery sponsoring the opening of the exhibition.

not all berets and brushes

By elise | Published: April 8, 2010

I forget sometimes how much organisation there is to be done to get anything happening properly. In the countdown to the exhibition I was thinking… how many weeks, how many paintings to be completed? I was looking forward to a hectic and creative time of rampant oil painting! But there’s so much more. This last [...]

And the winner is…

By elise | Published: April 8, 2010

Alright I’ve made a decision. Actually, you made it for me. Last weekend I printed out the two possible images for the postcards and put them out at the market with a score card. Then I asked people to vote on which image – the rabbit or the lion – they would be more likely [...]

Help! Name my exhibition

By elise | Published: March 15, 2010

I have some tentative names for the exhibition and I’d love to hear your opinions. Please help! Do you think any of these conjure up my work (the animals oil-paintings series) or at least sound intriguing? I’ve had pages of ideas but these seem to be the closest and the ones that make it sound [...]

Mondoodle 08-03-2010

By elise | Published: March 8, 2010

Over the weekend I have done two markets. The first was in the St Kilda Town Hall on Saturday. For those of you not in Melbourne, it was wrath-of-god type of day. I was well-inside the beautiful old hall – well-dwarfed by tall arches, well-sheltered by lofty ceilings… when half-way through the afternoon the skies [...]
