I’m pleased to announce that I’ve commenced a new contract with the good folk at Blackbutt Avocado Festival, where you’ll find me riding the avo-bus as Arts Project Officer two days a week until mid-2022. This new position has been made possible with thanks to funding from FRRR’s Tackling Tough Times Together program.

I was the proud recipient of the South Burnett Senior Cultural Award announced at this year’s Australia Day Awards ceremony held in Wondai. I also received a nomination for South Burnett Citizen of the Year - what a privilege to be recognised and a joy to live and work in this region!

I'm thrilled to be stepping into the Economic Development Officer role with the Burnett Inland Economic Development Organisation. I always welcome the opportunity to hit the road with BIEDO and it was fantastic to visit the North Burnett communities of Gayndah, Eidsvold, Monto and Mundubbera last month in our travels.

I’m pleased to announce I’m one of 67 Queensland artists/arts workers to be awarded funding support through Arts Queensland’s Individuals Fund. This funding will enable me to undertake a four-month mentorship and Cultural Resource Mapping project for the South Burnett region.

My residency with CQ RASN as part of the artist ‘at home’ residency program has also continued throughout this month (new art works pictured above). Later in July, I’ll be exhibiting some art works created during this time at a number of Kingaroy businesses - further information coming soon!

I’m pleased to announce that I’ve been selected as one of eight Central Queensland artists to take part in CQ RASN’s artist ‘at home’ residency program for the month of June! With funding support from CQ RASN, I’ll be creating a new body of work this month which will be an opportunity to reflect on my experiences during the ongoing COVID-19 situation and associated physical isolation.

New program launched - South Burnett Arts Hour. I’ve teamed up with South Burnett Arts to develop and present a new online program for the South Burnett arts community, enabling access to relevant guest speakers and providing a platform for local, informal networking.

I’m thrilled to announce a pilot South Burnett Arts Hour program for artists, arts volunteers and arts enthusiasts living and creating in the South Burnett region. Please stay connected with our creative community during this time as the Coronavirus situation continues to unfold.
