Arte Garagem: July 2010

Help me hit the dusty red roads of Australia!

Donate $10 and receive an original abstract painting done by me. All funds raised will go towards the purchase of a reliable campervan to see me on my way around Australia.

As some of you may or may not know, I dream of working my way around the country this year and so far I have only made it to Brisbane!

Although I am loving being in Brisbane, I had hoped to have saved up enough money by now to afford a campervan, so that I could move onto the next town without the worry of finding or renting accommodation. Unfortunately this is not the case and I need your help!

Especially as I have now found a property south of Brisbane that I shall be taking care of for the next 3-4 months (starting Sept.1, EEK!) which requires that I provide my own home on wheels, so the push is on, I need that van pronto!

So if you are interested in art and in helping me out, please contact me directly (via phone or email) and I shall organize to have your painting mailed to wherever you please! I will ship anywhere; Australia, Canada, France…to you, to a friend...

About the Paintings
All paintings are similar in colour, texture & content, but each is unique, with no two being the same.

They have been created with Acrylic & Oil Paints on Torn Cotton Canvas. These heavily textured pieces are floated on matt board so that the frayed edges are visible, with the occasional random thread looking ready to unravel the entire thing.

The majority of paintings average in size from 3”x 4” to 4.5”x 9” (the size of a legal envelope). Each of them is double matted and ready to hang with Command Picture Hanging Strips.

It will be a bit of a ‘lucky dip’ as to which you get, but you can nominate which primary matt colour you would prefer (white, black, red or blue), and the same again for the secondary matt colour.

P.S. If anyone knows of anyone looking to sell a van in Brisbane or Sydeny, preferably a 4x4 Toyota Hi-Ace or Daihatsu, let me know!
