Sunday Sanctuary: Concrete Jungle

By

Concrete and I haven’t always been friends, you see when I was young the road and driveway were responsible for countless grazed knees, sore arms and bike stacks. I’m not sure if it’s because I put the BMX away so many years ago, but somewhere along the line the painful memories have subsided and this industrial surface…

Windswept

By

Torrents of storm swept seas hand painted in infinite detail on the grandest scale imaginable.  San Franfransisco born Alaskan raised Ron Ortner paints magnificently  moving images of the sea where boats are void and people are but a distant concept.  Ron’s heritage is reflective in the mountainous sea scapes highlighting  impossible nature and let’s be honest some…

Street Cred

By

Artist Edgar Degas once said “Art is not what you see, but what you make others see”.  As a former fine artist I couldn’t agree more, there is something so magical about creating beauty from nothing with the simplest things like a pencil and paper.  Art and illustration have flowed always through my veins, much…

The Enigma

By

If only my wardrobe could talk .. ohhhhh the secrets it would tell.  Stories of how at least once every year my closet gets so messy that you cannot see the floor, how some new things still hang with the price tags still attached, and even more embarrassingly how there has been the odd occasion…

Sunday Sanctuary: The Little Cabin

By

   If you’re a pinterest lover you will recognise some of these beautiful photos and with much investigating I’ve been able to finally dig up the source.  The funny thing is that I always felt as though it looked like it might be an Australian home, there was just something that I couldn’t put my…

Island Lux

By

Let me begin by divulging that even though it may not look like it, this trip for me was all about work.  No seriously I promise, there was a lot of late nights enjoying fine wine  working late on my computer, sweating under the cabana with a cocktail  from all the stress, and basically trying to make the most…
