Reflecting on motherhood today with a full heart.

Reflecting on motherhood today with a full heart. My thoughts are with anyone who finds this day difficult, whether due to loss, longing, or complex relationships. I’m deeply grateful to have my mum in my life and to have shared hugs with my beautiful kids this morning.

These two portraits, painted six years ago, hold a special place in my heart. I’ve kept them for our home. And one day, they’ll be part of what I leave behind.

Love you endlessly. ❤️❤️❤️

So proud to have a work included in this incredible exhibition of works recently acquired by the Muskegon Museum of Art, Michigan through the Bennett Collection. Can’t wait to see this in person in a few weeks. Forever grateful for the patronage of @bennett897 and @eschmidt3400 who are such great supporters of women artists around the globe.
Posted @withregram • @visitmuskegon More Space, More Art – The Muskegon Museum of Art Expands!

We got a first look inside and are beyond excited to share it with you!

On February 6, 2025, the Bennett-Schmidt Pavilion opens, doubling the size of the Muskegon Museum of Art.

This major expansion adds five new galleries, education studios, a sculpture park, and more—bringing even more art out of storage and onto the walls.

The historic wing will now fully showcase the museum’s permanent collection, and dedicates a gallery to the museum’s glass art collection.

Take a look inside with this video, then plan your visit and be part of Muskegon’s exciting new chapter in the arts!

This is probably my favourite painting I created during this year if I had to pick one. Working with @goompi_ugerabah was so special and I am so grateful to have him in my life. Thank you for trusting me and thank you for your friendship.
A proud tribal man, Goompi descends from strong female ancestors, two of whom were placed on the Pialba mission upon European settlement. His family has lived on Minjungbal tribal land, while Goompi was born on Kombumerri tribal land on the Gold Coast, QLD, where he has spent his life. Taught in his early teens by the very few local elders who had cultural knowledge, including his Nunukal skin fathers. Goompi began to practice the written language with permission (Aboriginal art) where he depicted stories of his teachers and homeland. Doing this for 24 years now as an artist, he continues to represent tribal stories and knowledge through the collage of dot patterns, ancient symbolism and fine line work in each canvas he creates.

December exhibition opens today at @galleryone_art including works from my “Dystopia” series.
Absolute Rule, 2024, oil and mixed media on linen, 182x182cm

From the catalogue :
Furthermore we see paintings that show abstract flags and shadowy crowds, suggesting moments of social and political tension, perhaps a May Day demonstration or a populist rally, where extreme rhetoric stirs unrest. In these scenes, Longhurst addresses how easily rights fought for over generations can be swept away, especially impacting women and marginalised communities as societal divides deepen.
