I am a visual artist based in Newcastle, Australia. Established in 2009, Kasarn Designs is a new online art & photography gallery. We named the business after our daughter, Kasarn, born in the same year. After practicing our love of art & photography for many years, we have recently decided it is time to start raising our profiles & selling what we have enjoyed creating. Margo Humphries: Margo has a visual vocabulary & is known for her colourful canvases & painterly style. The energy in her works appears to be limitless. She loves creating works that you could stare at for hours. For Margo, the creative voyage along the way is equally significant as the outcome. With a collection of works from 15 years her awards are never-ending

Zip wall hanging update

This is the layout for my next zip wall hanging which is using all of the blue zips have sourced. I purchased hundreds of zips from op shops around Newcastle and Lake Macquarie in 2007 (before Covid so the zips are Covid-free). I have sold my first zip wall hanging last month which contained 121 zips using the purple, yellow, orange, pink and red zips. Stay tuned for progress photos after the sewing has commenced.

Thank you to everyone who attended Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar today at Lambton Park and supported our local artists and artisans. We were thrilled to hold Art Bazaar again and see our re-scheduled date attract such a great turnout with such short notice.

Hunter Arts Network Art Bazaar – IS NOT BEING HELD THIS SUNDAY 28 NOVEMBER AT LAMBTON PARK

Hunter Arts Network regrets to advise that Art Bazaar is unable to go ahead this Sunday 28 November at Lambton Park.

Council has inspected all of their sites and cancelled all sporting events because of the grounds being water logged from the recent rain event and recommended we do the same.

Whilst Sunday could be a finer day than what we’ve been experiencing lately, like Council, we are very concerned about people’s safety due to the condition of the grounds and the damage which could be caused to the grounds as their sites will not have had the opportunity to dry out. We will provide a further update once we have confirmed if we are able to re-schedule or need to cancel until next year. We apologise for the inconvenience. Yours sincerely, Hunter Arts Network
