I received this prayer as an email and it really was the right words at the right time. Maybe it will be that way for you too.

St. Theresa's Prayer:

'May today there be peace within.

May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others.

May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you.

May you be content with yourself just the way you are.

Let this knowledge settle into your bones,

and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love.

It is there for each and every one of us.'

its been so long

Well, I have not added anything to my blog for a long time. I have been busy, I have finished another commission with Alison for St. Theresa's in Brighton. Alison and I have started a new company called Parasol Arts http://parasolarts.blogspot.com/ We are currently working on the new initiative. This initiative is linking doctors and other health practitioners to artists. A lot like I do for Adelaide Health Partners in Adelaide CBD. The waiting rooms of the health practices are to become gallery spaces for the artists we know. Alison and I change the exhibitions 3 times a year, it is a positive move for all concerned. The artists get a place to showcase their art and the practices get new, uplifting art to enhance their enviornment.

Gala day workshop

This is a collage of the activity at the Parks Community Centre in Adelaide. I was invited to help create and design decorations for a gala day at this community centre. We used the artist John Coburn as an inspiration and combined Emmas beautiful patterned fabrics to make colourful, swinging, fesitve shapes to hang outside in the courtyard. look out for the finished product....

I love to decorate surfaces and as we all need rainwatertanks in Adelaide, I have given a tank for the garden a"facelift"..I wanted it to fit into the background and be old and interesting looking.....
