'SCARLET' an Erotic Art Exhibition

Serpentine Community Gallery, Lismore, Northern NSW

The First Salon, www.serpentinearts.org

Attended, helped host, set up and hang the 'Scarlet' Exhibit at the Serpentine Community Art Gallery where I have been volunteering my time this past month or so… Am super stoked to have been a part of this group show, it's the first time I've had a body of work hanging in a gallery! 

My 'Wall' in the First Salon

I had really been looking forward to this, afterall what could be a better description of half my work!? "Exploration of the senses…sensual & erotic…" 

Front Window Display

 It was such a different experience than that first solo show I organised in Sydney 2008, An Afternoon Art Affair... equally fun, just without all the extra stress & financial costs.

Unknown Title & Artist

Opening night went really well; five artworks sold (one of them mine!), the Gallery raised a good number of funds through raffle ticket & drink sales, I got in some pretty amazing conversations & lots of positive feedback for my art, the event AND the Gallery.  There were even a few fun & interactive pieces...

"Art School Confidential"

We had music, art, street performances and a lot of fun & very fashionable art patrons. It was a night to dress up, so you can believe I went all out!  Hence the 'Scarlet' Expresssions.

If you missed the opening night & live inthe area, the exhibition runs until the 27th of June. I'm there every Thursday! 

Really wish all my family & friends in Canada could've been here for it... have posted more photos on Facebook - and YES even if you are not on FB you can still view these pics!
