Introducing Anne Pincus and Iris Schabert
With the extra no-travel and minimal teaching hours up my sleeve I have written a 3-person exhibition proposal to submit to galleries in and around Munich. The other 2 Munich –based artists, whose work I love, are Anne Pincus and Iris Schabert . A bit of background: Anne Pincus is a painter originally from Melbourne, […]
Back to the art blog..at last
Happy New Year! 2020 sounds so futuristic doesn’t it? I do like the sound of this lovely, even, double-number-year much more than the year 2019. As with the dawning of each New Year, I have many resolutions, which I often struggle to adhere to, but this year feels different. I have discovered some practical strategies […]
Return to Sydney and The Other Art Fair Melbourne

“Mythology of my Land” opened at M-Contemporary gallery in Woollahra, Sydney last weekend and is on until the end of May. The Peculiar Annes’ sculpture “Feral” took pride of place in the window of the gallery where he may be seen by passer’s by, luring them inside the gallery to view more fabulous and fascinating works […]
A Peculiar Annes sculpture in the making..
Whilst it was true that I had a few loose ends to tie up in Sydney last month, the main purpose for my visit was to work with the Peculiar Anne’s (Janet parker-Smith, Cleo gardener and myself) on a new sculptural work for an exhibition at M-contemporary gallery in May. My focus was to create the ceramic […]
“Scientia” – at Art Est
Thanks to all who came along to Art Est last Saturday. It was a fun afternoon and I caught up with some people I haven’t seen in ages! I had a mixture of older and newer works on display as you can see in the photos. Also included in the main room are James Blackwell’s exquisite […]
“Broken” – Solo Exhibition at Artereal
I am excited to announce that my solo exhibition,”Broken”, opens on Wednesday 5th November at Artereal Gallery. The exhibit will feature new ceramic sculptures and a selection of recent mixed media works on paper. All these works are a continuation of my favourite theme – examining our contradictory relationship with animals, but particularly focusing on the deceptive […]
Peculiar Annes installation at “Hidden”
Just to re-cap a bit on an earlier post, the Peculiar Annes are a collaborative artist group formed in May this year. We are Janet Parker-Smith, Cleo Gardener and myself-Claude Jones. Its been so much fun to work collaboratively with other artists, especially as I spend so much time alone in the studio with my own […]
