'A Little Bird Told Me' Exhibition at Belconnen Arts Centre

What a fabulous time at the Belconnen Arts Centre in Canberra where I was able to exhibit all the paintings that formed the pages of the book, 'A Little Bird Told Me'!
Opening night was a special occasion with lots of people in attendance including a visit from the lovely artist, Lindy Longhurst.
It was wonderful to see all the paintings on show and there were many positive comments from those who came to see them. 'Beautiful' was a description that came up many times. 'Gorgeous colours and designs' and 'I find this area of story and painting magic and pretty to soul and eye' were just two of the comments. I felt very privileged throughout the three week event which also included a holiday workshop.
I was also honoured to sign lots of copies of the book. A special thank you to the staff and volunteers at the Belconnen Arts Centre and to all those who made the event such a success!
