Make time to play 2022
This year, I want to make a conscious effort to allocate more time for play and experimentation. Be it a new medium, a new subject, or a new technique, the only prerequisite is that I have fun during the process.
Untitled. 2022 at Traffic Jam Galleries Sydney
I'm so excited to be included in this year's Untitled. 2022 annual group exhibition at Traffic Jam Gallery in Sydney. I will be launching two brand new artworks alongside five other artworks.
A road trip to Canberra
Need a a short creativity break? I love taking trips to Canberra, it’s an easy 3 hour drive from Sydney and you pass through some of my favourite stop-offs. I like stopping by beautiful Bowral for a coffee, or a cheeky burger and malted milkshake from Bernie’s Diner in Moss Vale.
My Budding romance with Rainbow Lorikeets
On special occasions my window becomes a ledge for a few feathered friends. Sometimes a magpie, a butcherbird, occasionally a Sulphur-crested cockatoo. My current favourite are the cheeky and colourful rainbow lorikeets, a species of parrot found in Australia.
Interview with Neighbourhood Media 'Marrickville 2204' magazine
A few weeks ago I was delighted to answer a few questions for Adeline Teoh from local publication ‘Marrickville 2204’ by Neightbourhod Media.

Feature in Inner West Courier
A recent feature in the Inner West Courier. In this article, I talked about my home style and my favourite local gems.
Meet the Artist: Emma Kidd
Today we chat with Emma Kidd, a Sydney based artist who makes articulated imaginary creatures with the humble paper and paint. I have always admired artists who can draw from their imagination and felt in love with Emma's creatures the day I discovered her work. Everything she does seems so effortless and yet I doubt anyone can replicate her style easily. Her creatures look like characters from another time, innocent beings trapped in Dante's Inferno.
Portrait Drawing: Abby
I have never been confident with drawing portraiture and as a result, have always avoided it where possible. This year, I've decided to face this fear head on. You can never have a perfect piece of drawing but you'll never improve if you don't practice.
Pet Portrait: Lewis
Friends in my street adopted Lewis from the RSPCA when he was about 4 years old. No-one knew his past history but he’d had a bad time as he was aggressive towards strange men. The young couple (his new family) both worked long hours and he was left at home. He suffered from separation anxiety so tried to escape their yard most days. Often I would see him “setting out” on an adventure along the street and I’d go after him. He loved this and turned it into a game I’m sure.
Roseau: Disintegrate
Came across this beautiful animation by Hannah Jacobs for London-based songwriter and producer Roseau's latest track, Disintegrate.
