ART FAIR

This year I was happy to be invited by Outre Gallery to exhibit at the Affordable Art Fair in Melbourne. They had a gorgeous booth of interesting, contemporary artworks by a select group of artists, both local and international.

Faded Beauty

I exhibited four new sculpture paintings and one A2 screen print created specifically for the event.

With these works I am continuing to explore the double standard language of gender. It’s an old narrative of equality (or lack there of) but one that is still so interesting to me. Why are there so many more derogative terms for female than males?

(Not Your) Princess

Ice Queen

Tramp

I had a great response to these works and the sentiment behind them. All original sculpture paintings have sold but there are still some ‘Bubbles Burst’ screen prints available at Outre Gallery.

PLAYBOY FEMLIN

Late last year I received an email from Playboy US asking me to create an updated version of Leroy Neiman’s Femlin. I was beyond excited and flattered. I have always loved Neiman’s mischievous, nymphish character he created for the Party pages of Playboy magazine in 1955 and continued to create in the 60’s and 70’s.

It was so fun to work on this. It’s not often I receive a job where nudity is actually encouraged! And the art directors at Playboy were so lovely to work with.

I’m yet to see it in print but here are some of the images which are in the new quarterly Playboy magazine which launched Jan 18th 2019. Keep your eyes peeled at quality news stands.
