Where We Live

Opening my home for the Muwillumbah Arts Trail (and having time to think during Covid) has given me the opportunity to reach out and share art with those around me. Where We Live project is a collection of artworks by some of the younger locals, their creative interpretation of what matters to them. It was lots of fun to do and I met some terrific kids.

While I was dropping invitations into my neighbour’s letterboxes, I finally go to meet one very special lady. The lady across the road. Maggie spends most of her days creating art. She’ll be bringing her work across the road and hanging it with mine. I can’t believe that it has taken 6 years to meet her and look forward to many cups of coffee and chats about art in the future. Build community, knock on doors and get to know those who share where we live.

Boomerang Bags

Spent Sunday with some pretty amazing women sewing. In the hope to reduce the number of plastic bags being used I've joined a group of local ladies who have formed the Kingscliff Boomerang Bags initiative. Such a fabulous way of helping the environment, repurposing old sheets, pillowcases and even clothes to create fabric bags to carry your groceries. So good for the soul to use skills for the long term good of our world and meeting some lovely new friends in the process. Win win
