Opera stars tackles Melbourne Football Club

I'm here in Melbourne for a few weeks with Opera Australia's Melbourne Season. I had the pleasure of working with two very fit opera singers, Teddy Tahu Rhodes and Jud Arthur, who do a sterling job of dispelling the myth of what opera singers look like. We teamed them up with North Melbourne Football Club Vice-Captain Drew Petrie.
The result was a very fine looking picture and story in the Herald Sun and a great afternoon had by all.

Samantha Everton announces title of next show


I first met and worked with Sam in 2007. It was her Vintage Dolls series and I was instantly spell-bound. So much so that a work, and so did my sister.

Sam is at it again this year, with the announcement of her 2011 exhibition, Marionettes, on show in Queensland at Anthea Polson Art in March, then to Sydney at Dickerson Gallery in April 2011.

Above is the first work of the series, titled Birthday Wish. Just lovely Sam
