Paint and Plonk with Gilbert Valley SACWA

A laughing group showing off their hand painted milk jug vases and a philodendron painting.

Wow! What a fun way to spend a Wednesday night.
Thanks to the SACWA – Gilbert Valley Branch for inviting me along for a night of Paint and Plonk for their fundraiser.
This group wanted something a little different so we came up with the idea of painting on either vases with any creation or painting with gouache using an outline.
Check out the wonderful milk jug vase creations and philodendron paintings.

Paint and Plonk is going to Tasmania!

We are very excited to be returning to the wonderful Puddleduck Vineyard in Tasmania for two special Paint and Plonk events. We were last there in 2019 and can’t wait to return to the beautiful state.
We just loved visiting previously and what an amazing venue for an event. Amazing surroundings, fabulous food and delicious wine.
Dates are as follows:

Augmented Reality Art

What a fun exhibition opening we had at The Duke of Brunswick with artworks by myself and Cockadoodle Stu – Artworks by Stu Nankivell for the SALA Festival
Each artwork includes an augmented reality animation by Blue Goanna Digital using the Artivive App to make it come alive.
Thank you to everyone who came along and joined in on the experience.
Also, a shoutout to Up In Frames, our official framer for the exhibition, for great work behind the scenes making everything work seamlessly and look amazing.
The exhibition will run until the end of August so please drop in, enjoy some fantastic food and be entertained. A great activity to do with the family and it’s free!
If you are unable to get to Adelaide to view this exhibition you can still enjoy the fun online by scanning the artworks on your screen using the app.
