Candy Spender Jewels

One of three necklaces I made from the resin range I’ve called ‘Sol y Mar’.

You can try this unusual necklace as well as the earrings on .

I made the range a few months ago and used up the last of my stash of resin components which I’ve had in my studio for around 20 years.

They are each one-of-kind.

The earthy natural colours and sterling silver fittings will take you through the seasons and be a perennial favourite.

Digital painting is fun and brings out the playful in me.

I can imagine this either as a textile or an enormous mural, bold and uplifting. I made it on my iPad.

‘Light of magnolia’ (from my photo)

Acrylic on canvas, and then sewn onto a cushion as an idea I’ve been having called:
‘room jools.’

But this one is a gift for a dear friend.

I have loved life drawing course so, much, and can’t wait until August when the next one starts.

This is my experiment with conté, the wonderful model is Paul from , who sits so still and inhabits his body so deeply, he’s a great pleasure to draw, and a lovely person. 🙏🏼

The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council are proposing to cut funding to many, many Arts and Cultural institutions, communities and organisations. Many of us met The Pig & Whistle yesterday to be photographed by the local paper to show the Council that they do not have our support, and are actually not reflecting the voice of the community.

If you are an artist of any kind and live or holiday in the Mornington Peninsula, below are some actions you can take to show the Council that they need to listen to the community,
and conserve the precious cultural and community values which are vital to maintaining the essence of Peninsula life.
