Recently this year I traveled to Greece, the heart of civilisation (according to my close friend).

Most of my travels to Europe prior to this trip have been in Italy, France and Spain. Discovering Athens and the ancient civilisations of the Cyclads and Minoan was exciting and intriguing.

I was not prepared for the incredible art, sculpture and architecture.

I have written more about my travels in Greece on my travel blog here.

This blog is about a piece that I love. It is called The Dance of Man and is a light look at the evolution of man from the dawn of civilisation to now.

Whilst in Greece I became acutely aware of symbols and repetitive art themes.

Back in Australia I delved a little deeper and discover a woman called Genevieve Von Petzinger who specialises in cave symbols. In her TED talk she discusses the 32 symbols and their relevance in history.

I love this painting as it incorporates the old and the new. And the older I become, the more I realise there is no such thing as “new”.

I’m very excited to announce this summer my art will be on display in the cafe beside the Tweed Regional Art Gallery.

Sweeping views over the Tweed Valley from Tweed Gallery Cafe

By far one of my favourite art galleries in Australia with sweeping views up the Mount Warning and the lush Tweed Valley, this is the perfect day trip for visitors to the area and locals on the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

The cafe along side the art gallery is run by local restauranteurs and owners of Mavis’s Kitchen just down the road near Mt Warning. Needless to say the cafe is six star with service, food and ambiance.

I have chosen the opportunity and the wonderful bright and airy space offered by the cafe to show my latest series Joie De Vivre, Ned Kelly and The Dance of Man.

These pieces will be for sale and are priced to sell to the right person.

Come down and see these pieces for yourself and feel the colours, and themes I am trying to capture.

For a day trip either start at the gallery and morning tea in the cafe, followed by a short walk at the base of Mt Warning, a visit to Uki and lunch at Mavis’s.
