Yes, I know that it is only two weeks until the Winter Solstice, but given I haven't posted in almost two years, it feels somewhat appropriate.
The past few years have been pretty tough with my health and although I have continued to make art, had a fair few exhibitions, and even won some amazing art prize awards, I just wasn't in the right place to share that in this space.
But these past few months have finally brought me out of the darkness and into a better space with respect to my identity, with more acceptance about my life living with 'disability', as well as some much appreciated health improvements.
So happy new year to all and especially to me!

| Earth, Metal, Water, Wood, Fire! Linocut, 12x12cm on Vietnamese Handmade Rice paper |
This is a little linocut, only 12x12cm, that I created to mark my 48th year. I was born in the year of the Earth Rooster, and this year is the 4th time the Rooster year has cycled through my life.
I made a small edition which has been shared with the Animalia Print Exchange project. I am also gifting this linocut to all my Rooster friends (so let me know if you are also a Rooster and I will organise to gift you one too!)
Lots more news to follow, including catching up on some of the artworks that I have created over the past two years, as well as some current exciting projects that I am involved with.
Happy New Year 2019 the first celebration of the year is just a couple of days ahead of us. And we are highly excited and going crazy about it. Of course, going crazy about it holds a lot of reasons. Like, first of all, it is the day which is a start to a new year. As well as it is the time when we do make resolutions and try our best to stick with it. In addition to that, it is another big celebration after Christmas. And we all want to party our heart out on this day.
