  • Another successful Art Bazaar was held today at St Therese’s New Lambton

    Another successful Art Bazaar was held today at St Therese’s New Lambton

    We were very pleased to have another successful Art Bazaar today at St Therese’s New Lambton. After a sudden downpour and heavy rain this morning which was replaced with blue skies just before we officially started. It was great to see the hall full of stallholders who are all local and approved by Hunter Arts Network for their originality, quality and creativity. The food, coffee and entertainment added to the enjoyment by the constant large crowds coming through. Our new 2pm finish time which we needed to change to was praised among stallholders as well. Our next Art Bazaar will be held here again in August.

  • “Sequin Symphony” original painting $80.00

    “Sequin Symphony” original painting $80.00

    "Sequin Symphony"
    I painted this artwork for the Off the Wall exhibition at MAC yapang Booragul which ran from December 2025 – February 2026

    Now, in its third year running Off the Wall is a celebration of the wealth of artistic talent in the Lake Macquarie and Hunter regions.

    Developed with the focus of supporting Lake Macquarie’s diverse creative community, Off the Wall establishes an opportunity for artists to display and sell work while building involvement, representation, and connection.

    Artists of all stages in their creative career from the Lake Macquarie and Hunter Region are invited to participate.

    Continuing the theme of Celebrate with MAC yapang, artists are encouraged to create work that celebrates Lake Macquarie as a destination, a diverse landscape, or a rich and vibrant community.

    All paintings in the exhibition are on canvas 203 x203 x 40mm

    My painting is acrylic, acrylic ink and glitter

    $80.00 – shop on etsy

    Painting description – Just like a lot of the visual work I create and design this piece has become a pattern. The pattern in this piece is based on a group of sequins of different colours. These not only look sparkly but when light is angled or flashed at sequins they change the colour of light you see. This unmistakable 3D dazzle is also represented by thicker paint sticking up on some areas on the canvas.
