Deep Scarlet Red Pen Project Exhibition

Update (2 September): Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, this exhibition has been postponed for the time being. I'll post the new dates when I have more information.

Way back in 2016 I contributed a left-handed drawing, Fire in the Belly of Vulture, to the Deep Scarlet Red Pen Project, as conceived by artist Michelle Exhales (aka Michelle Genders). The image was shared online at the time, but now it will be exhibited alongside the work of 13 other artists who contributed to the original project, as part of the inaugural exhibition at Michelle’s studio, Nix Gallery.

Alongside my drawing, a more recent work featuring vulture, Soil Mother Fed By Her Vultures (Çatalhöyük), will also be displayed.

This is the first time that originals of my art will be exhibited, so this is quite exciting. Thanks to Michelle for inviting me to take part alongside all the other artists (including my sister, whose blog, Seeker Writing Studio, you can find here). 


Nix Gallery is located inside Nauti Studios Blue Mountainsat 201 Great Western Highway, Hazelbrook. The exhibition will be open from 10am to 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays throughout September, and a celebration morning tea will be held on Saturday 11th September from 11am to 1pm. Everyone is welcome to attend, so perhaps I’ll see you there.
