Connections
St Michaels

Sacred art, a historic city sanctuary, and a cause that matters 

I’m delighted to have been welcomed by St Michael’s Uniting Church to display the ‘Connections’ Exhibition. St Michael’s has long been committed to art and music as expressions of people’s faith and it has felt like quite a natural alliance to work together on this exhibition.  

We’ve chosen the title Connections because we see that connection is at the heart of Divine love for people and planet. I am showing intriguing and affirming old and new work which explores the diversity of people and the quality of radical inclusion. 

It means an enormous amount to me that we’ve arranged that 40% of profits from exhibited work or prints sold will directly fund work of The Torch, an organisation supporting First Nations artists with lived experience of incarceration to reconnect with culture and earn income from their art. We first came into contact with The Torch in January of 2025 at the Blak Injustice exhibition at Heide Art Gallery. The stories shown there were haunting and necessary to tell. It moves me that St Michael’s has committed independently to First Nation’s truth telling for quite some while and participated in work toward the successful treaty in Victoria.  That we can financially support this work is meaningful to me and to the church.  

The opening is October 4th from 11:30 to 2pm. After the opening, you can view ‘Connections’ from:

  • 4 October 2026 to 14 November 2026

  • Wednesdays 12:00 – 2pm,

  • Thursdays 12:00 – 3pm

  • Sundays 12:00 – 2pm

Please contact me if you would like prints. The following formats are available. All prints on paper are sold on ivory mounting board. Frames may be ordered. Prints on canvas are stretched on wood.

Art Prints: Art Prints are created with laser printers onto quality wood pulp art paper.

Gallery Poster: Gallery Poster is a typical art gallery format with laser printer on poster paper, supplied rolled in a tube.

Giclee Prints: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto quality cotton rag paper. They’re known for their vibrant colours, fine details, and archival quality. The term "giclee" comes from the French word meaning "to spray," referring to the precise inkjet spraying process used in their production. They’re guaranteed to last at least 100 years (though no one’s been alive long enough since development to know…)

Embellished Giclee Prints: Embellished Giclee Prints are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-drawn elements to make each cotton paper print unique. The result is a print that combines the advantages of digital printing with a personal touch.

Giclee Prints on Canvas: Giclee Prints are inkjet sprayed onto artist canvas material. This gives the print a texture and appearance similar to a traditional painting on canvas so that they resemble original paintings.

Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas: Embellished Giclee Prints on Canvas are customised by me adding details, textures, or hand-painted elements to make each print unique. Embellishments added on top of canvas give the print a more three-dimensional painterly effect.
