updating website (blogger)

i have said this before. 

In trying to simplify it gets a little complicated 

In creating a 'website' I have, in 2025, transitioned back to blogger as i am finding various website providers far too expensive and promises made remain unfulfilled as well as charging extra for basic pre-requisites. 

Blackfisharts Art Gallery hosts any works for sale, finished works and exhibitions I have been in.  All in the process of being created and/or updated.  

Studio work about My Art & Others is just as the title says.

Regent Park Tasmania is about lifestyle - of an artist and those she lives with, its about discovering #countryliving since moving to this place 3 years ago and exploration of a sense of place and our place within it.

I work across media, including painting (oils, watermedia, pastel), book making, collage, assemblage, slow stitching, photography and writing.

Emerald13 is my pseudo for poetry - having written short form for many many years with over 120 published pieces this site is constantly being updated as i work my way through many tomes of works. 

Fyneimages - i am keen to revive this site with photoworks that have taken a turn in content and premise over the last few years.

Occasionally each site overlaps as it is all connected.  I do hope you will stay with me and thank you, Dear Reader, for being here.

INSPIRING EXHIBITION - Australian artists & Afghan women’s experiences since the Taliban takeover in 2021

Image
The Bridge Gallery in Burnie is a temporary space for the Art Gallery while construction of the Arts Centre is underway.  We travelled to Burnie to pick up the  Oistre book  which was a finalist in the Burnie Print Prize 2025 , and encountered a splendid, awe-inspiring exhibition. There are 21, i think, artist books where each artist responds to each Afghan womans experience of living in Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover in 2021. i have posted a few images i took on our visit (below).  The images are not 'professional' but give me a sense of the presentation and ideas that i enjoyed immensely. I love how each book presents as 'the same' however upon opening, each book has artwork entirely unique to the story of each Afghan woman.  The creativity and diversity of artwork and story kept me in the gallery, going from book to book, for nearly an hour.  Just marvellous.  Techniques included typesetting, drawing, painting, photography, printmaking...

Mum's Tarot Cards

Image
I have a set of mum's tarot cards which i dont use but i like the creativity of the imagery and what they may mean. It's not a full set and they are newer than the ones i remember from my childhood which i think came from my Granny in Hungary. I wish i had those ! This set mum gave to me many many years ago - i think she thought I might play with the gift of reading but my left brain always took over. In recent times during de-stashing whirlwinds I found them and this week decided to do something with them. I created a A book of tarot cards that turned out nicely. I have the images below of a few steps in the making. and this link will take you to our you tube channel showing this book in its final form with the box. Do let me know what you think. Materials : tarot cards  a long sheet of heavy weight paper/card - i used 26 inches long and the height is exactly the same as the height of a tarot card bookbinders glue, bone folder book board  fancy papers to cover boards ma...

Day 13 of looking back at (13) projects - painting

Image
I am infatuated with 'place', a sense of place and our place within it and that art is a collision of the intellect and the visceral.  Abstraction excites me.  The struggle, in painting, continues to align concept/vision with ability, the technical aspects. This is why I work every day. The mornings are for computer work, admin, tidying (maybe), sorting, research and reading/writing. Working daily, on various projects and ideas I paint in the afternoons, across media including oil, acrylic, pastel and watermedia. Looking back on the last year, the struggle to abstraction continues. You can see abstractions in other artworks i do including artist books, asemic, prints, ipad drawings, photography and drawing.  1. search the label on this blog.  2. (check out the last 12 days of ' looking back' (label).
