Repost from @msjuliaholden of a prints for her opening on Thursday night the Sarjeant Gallery. I am the model for the ‘living painting’ in bottom right, Julias version of the Lindauer portrait of Victorian artist Kate Sperry. Was such a fun procedure, can’t wait to see the final prints later this week! #sarjeantgallery #juliaholden #lindauer #painting #recreation #awesome

Fern diptych just about done, need a little more polishing and then the next stop is to get it silvered and outdoors in the spot where it belongs! #glassart #engraving #drawing #ferns #mirror #fineart #whanganui #blackwhite
More rough ferns growing on my glass. Panel two of the garden mirror diptych, lots of work and polishing to do. Engraving when the weather is howling and creating its own storm around you is fantastic. #engravingstorm #glass #fineart #drawing #studio #ferns #glassart #mirror #whanganui #art
Studio weirdness, reflection from one of my mirrors #mirror #reflection #glassart #engraving #drawing #waterbottle
Panel one, stage one. Foreground ferns roughed out, Background ferns to cut now. This is part of a diptych for a beautiful garden and fernery and will be silvered to create a pair of mirrors. #mirror #engraving #ferns #drawing #fineart #glassart #studio #art #glassengraving #glass

Old work from 2016 relevant for today, an engraved red camellia turned white by the engraving process, lucky to live in such an enlightened country that was way ahead of my motherland #suffrage125 #glassengraving #glassart #womenartists #camellia #white #flower #drawing #glass

Just put my ungrateful kitty out for the night, and thought I’d better appease the gods and put something up on here; so in the spirit of disturbed moggies here is a glass Engraving of “The Cat”, design for a crystal plate by Isamu Noguchi for Steuben. Just in case you were wondering where the original came from! Seen for real at @corningmuseum during my residency in June. #cat #engraving #glassart #glass #linedrawing #catsofinstagram #glassengraving
