Thinking of all my Melboune friends today and send

Thinking of all my Melboune friends today and sending much love and strength with the tightened lockdown. This painting is appropriately called ‘Stronger’, part of a very lonely last week of my solo show in Melbourne with works only viewable online. I am grateful for the support of Melbourne City Council @cityofmelbourne and their financial assistance bringing this show to you via the internet. Lots of digital resources to view the artworks including a virtual tour and video explainers are on the Flinders Lane Gallery website. www.flg.com.au

So so proud to be part of the Northern Beaches art

So so proud to be part of the Northern Beaches arts community and absolutely chuffed to receive this beautiful acknowledgment today together with some truely wonderful artists. I will be paying it forward and will donate half the prize money to the Manly Art Gallery Society @manly_art_gm_society and half to medical research at Reverse Rett @reverserett .
My gratitude goes to the judges and members of the Northern Beaches Council who worked so hard on this.

Backyard Dreaming
Oil on canvas 91x122cm
“As the world grapples with the enormous challenges of a global pandemic, we find ourselves confined to our own homes and backyards. How precious to just lie in the grass looking up at the sky - savouring the moment, appreciating the little things that make us happy and dreaming up a better future.”

Reason 10 of 10: 'Oh, I want to get away'

“ I love paintings that resonate with my experience of this planet ... and much prefer to get lost in these in those rare meditative moments” - Angus Barnes, FLG Collector

One of the most enduring qualities of art is its power to transport the viewer to another time and place. Whether that place is vivid and real or abstract and imagined, you’re invited to see the world differently through the eyes, hands and creative vision of the artist. This increases our capacity for empathy and understanding of other cultural practices. Moreover, thinking conceptually, abstractly and emotionally can help reduce stress, aid sleep and stave off illnesses such as Alzheimer’s, dementia, anxiety or depression. What a wonderful reason to sit and take in the beauty of an artwork.

"It’s such a privilege to be able to surround yourself with something beautiful that can be the source of an escape or an intrigue and sometimes both at once." Naomi Hodgson, Collector

"In his 1958 book, La Poétique de l'Espace, Gaston Bachelard wrote about the lived experience of architecture; the accumulated moments of joy which turn a house into a home, for example. He highlighted the importance of daydreaming in this process when he observed that the “daydream transports the dreamer outside the immediate world to a world that bears the mark of infinity.” In our home, the artwork on our walls and sculptures standing in our lounge have become our daydreaming devices. They raise our thoughts above everyday life and open us up to a world full of poetry, beauty and compassion. They have helped us build a home and in doing so, have helped us create a happy life" - FLG Collector, Leonard Vary CEO The Myer Foundation

So sad can’t be at my own opening or anyone else for that matter with the Victorian border closing and the Melbourne lockdown. Hope everyone is safe and we get this outbreak under control quickly.
@flinderslanegallery is operating remotely again, so please get in touch with Claire for virtual viewings and virtual installs in your home.
