My art in the press....

Morning all! I thought I'd pop in to let you know that I've been featured in an article written by Paddy Hintz, a journalist at The Courier Mail newspaper here in Brisbane.


You can check out the full article here. Thanks so much Paddy for the feature.

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We had a lovely day, shared with family who joined us here for lots of food, a drink or two and the traditional Singstar challenge which lasted well into the wee hours. I'm sure our neighbours thank their lucky stars we live on acreage, as none of us could remotely be described as singers, but what we lack in talent we more than make up for with enthusiasm! Today the crew have braved the dismal weather and headed off to Noosa, which leaves me with the whole day to myself. I'm looking forward to doing nothing more than mooching around, enjoying a good book and a dvd or two, and after the frantic lead-up to the big day, I can't think of anything I'd rather be doing. 

Hope Santa was kind to you all, and I'm looking forward to catching up with your news over the next few weeks. I have lots of exciting plans for this little blog of mine, and I can't wait to share them with you all. I love the start of a new year - so many exciting possibilities!

  7. Unmasked!! Lovely pic - and nice to meet you face to face, "social shopping" - it sounds so pleasant you could almost forget there's money involved, my very favourite way to shop...

  25. Hi Kerri,
    How fantastic to be featured in such a well written article, and how fortuitious to have such a clever and encouraging daughter and husband. I've been wanting to see the movie the Social Network as it really is quite a phenomenon the changes and shifts in peoples communication and shopping styles in such a short time. I feel for one that with a 2 & 4 year old the internet shopping alternative far easier. Can you imagine attempting an art gallery with that age group? :) Ha no!
    Wishing you a happy new year and look forward to seeing all your new and beautiful creations in 2011.

  28. Hi Kerri. What a treat reading the comments. Usually we just get the complaints ha ha. I'm on hols and it's the first time I've seen the story. I will have to let Charlotte know also from The Tribune. They are very clever girls with the old FB.
