Here are three collage works made to a theme suggested by our group Melbourne Collage Meets. The first prompt and image was wreath or circle, the second was dog and the third was Flinders Street Station (a famous Melbourne landmark). The next two images are acrylic paintings on watercolour paper of hydrangeas with a little pencil work on them.
Our Melbourne Collage Meets group have now been meeting for a few years at a Fairfield Cafe and our newest group in Fitzroy North have been meeting for around 6 months. The latest news is that a new group will be formed very soon, possibly in Ivanhoe or somewhere surrounding this area. If you are interested please know these meetings are free, they are not workshops yet we do influence one another. The only cost would be to buy a coffee and cake or similar to support the cafe we meet at. More information can be supplied if you contact me.

MCM are a group of artists that started meeting after the covid bans were lifted. We meet fortnightly at a local cafe and make collage, socialise and we have even had a fundraiser for a selected nearby school. We absolutely love seeing each other and working together. We have just come up with future themes rather than last minute ideas. I’m going to give you a few if you would also like to participate here online.

I just finished a fabulous exhibition at Meeniyan gallery in South Gippsland. I sold lots of wall assemblages and thought I should stop making these but I can’t help it, still making. I will post some new ones soon. They have changed into small free standing sculptures.
I will once again (maybe in Spring) be offering classes (all materials included) for either wall art or freestanding sculpture using found objects and collage.
Hope to hear from some of you. Why don’t you give one of the above themes to your child or your Grandmother or friend and get them to contribute too. I’ll post it for them.
