Happy artist working in the gallery!

Last day to see us in captivity at Lost Eden Creative before we pack up our belongings and head back home.
Gallery open from 10:00. Open to the honey sun. Open to the riders and the walkers and the family groups. Open to the curious and the serious. Open to conversation and laughter. Open to you.

Being serenaded by Lovely Steve in the gallery this afternoon. There will be more of the same on our last day tomorrow if you come for a Sunday drive to the forest.

It is our last weekend in Dwellingup and therefore your last chance to visit us in this beautiful forest idyll. Gallery open today 10-2pm Saturday and Sunday 10-4. Glorious weather for a little drive don’t you think?

He Went That-A-Way!

Sometimes a residency is half about working in the gallery and half about working in the garden.

Sometimes a residency is about taking notice of the sudden change of season.

Lost Eden Gallery open from 10-4 today and tomorrow and we are coinciding with Peel Open Studios so plenty to see and do in Dwellingup.

Sometimes a residency is a giant game of Pick-up-Sticks.

Sometimes a residency is about putting every little thing in its proper place.

Today’s jigsaw puzzle.

Sometimes a residency requires an unstructured day to unwind.

And Sit! At the end of a busy and successful Easter weekend. Thank you lovely Layla for your excellent example of how to pose with a sculpture. Comes from living with the fabulous sculptress I guess.

“Lovely Steve” being a much admired artwork.

The talented, insightful, whip smart, candlelit Judy Rogers.

Posted • Lazy fox has found a new home and will fly off to Sydney at the end of the week. The quick brown dog will continue bounding about looking for him in the bushes until someone new comes along to chase.

A lovely article in today’s West Australian.

Gorgeous market surrounding the gallery today. Music and food and a tiny forest!

New work straight out of the residence! We need a Latin name for this little piece of flora fauna - any ideas add in the comments.

Sometimes a residency is about following the tracks to see where they take you...

And it’s back into the gallery today, which is open from 11-2:00pm. Obviously you will be allowed in early if you are wearing fabulous shoes!

Sometimes a residency is about hanging out with the locals...

Sometimes a residency is just about having time for reflection.

Sometimes a residency is simply about seeing your work in a new light. If you want to see our work in the glorious autumn sunlight the Lost Eden gallery is open from 10:00am today. Also open is the fabulous just outside the door with delicious plant based food and perfect coffee.

Lost Eden Creative gallery open for business today and tomorrow 10-4pm

I know what you’re thinking... that a little drive in the autumn sunshine to look at some art is exactly what you need today. Lost Eden Gallery is open from 10-2pm today so perfect for a lunch date or a coffee stop in beautiful Dwellingup.

So a residency means... setting up your traveling studio in some dappled light in a doorway or a shady part of the garden.

Gallery is open from 11:00-2:00pm today so a bit of multitasking in the doorway is the order of the day.

So a residency is when a generous artist allows you to share her tools, her space, her experience, her hat and her sense of humour. Thank you

Day 5 of the residency started with a little bit of downward dog in the gallery this morning when I joined the local yoga class who enjoy the space on a Tuesday. Thinking (while supposed to be meditating) I could probably find twigs for every contorted yoga pose I couldn’t quite get right!

First day foraging: Feathers, sticks and bones. Lost Eden Creative Residency Dwellingup.

A great big thank you to all our lovely family, friends and visitors who came to the gallery for our launch yesterday. It was nice to start our residency in style and now we are ensconced and ready for anyone who might drop in to Lost Eden Creative over the next month. There is some cheese left and a cold glass of wine so if you feel like a short drive into the country today then come on down.

A huge day hanging our work at Lost Eden Creative. Thanks to for your very valuable assistance. Show is looking good and will be just perfect for our launch on Saturday.
