Clare Valley Portrait Prize 2018

The Journey Studio Clare Valley Portrait Prize 27 June 2018The Clare Valley Portrait prize exhibition is open with art from the Clare Valley and surrounding regions at the Clare Valley Wine Food and Tourism Centre.

This year I have two portraits entered – “Miho” and “Willow and Gemima”. The medium is Derivan Mattise acrylic ink on Fabriano watercolour paper.

Originally from Japan, Miho is a good friend from Clare who agreed to model in her Japanese kimono. The artwork portrays her in a traditional sense, contrasting the modern lifestyle that she lives in Clare.

‘A Joyful Bunch’ sold within 3 hours at Starlight Jewellery and D’Vine Art Gallery

A Joyful Bunch by Meg Mader The Journey Studio‘A Joyful Bunch’ was inspired by a flower arrangement by local florist Dianne from A Joyful Bunch. I just loved the arrangement and with her permission made it into a painting using acrylic ink and pen on watercolour paper.

I dropped this painting into Starlight Jewellery and D’Vine Art today and within 3 hours it was sold! Thanks Dan.

Dan has recently taken over the business and has some wonderful plans for the future of the shop. Make sure you drop in and say ‘hi’, check out the other wonderful things in store and maybe even take something home.

I have more art on display in store with more to be added soon.

Owl with Attitude sold on Bluethumb

Owl with Attitude by Meg Mader The Journey StudioOwl with Attitude’ has been sold!

I recently listed this painting on Bluethumb and before long it found a new home in the ACT.

This was a wonderful painting to create. It is big, bright and definitely has it’s own character. What started off as a normal(ish) brown owl suddenly became this multi-coloured madness. The painting definitely led me and not the other way around.
