“Reading in the Drop Sheets” was a finalist in the Queensland Figurative in 2024 and went on to win Second Prize! Oil on Board. Judges comments likened it to Vermeer’s work, which was just an honour! #reading #quiet #beauty #vermeer #aftervermeer #oilpainting #beautifulart #australianart #light

Edit: SOLD, Peoples Choice Recipient in BPP Salon Des Refuses, 2024!! Finalist in the BPP Salon des Refuses! Which means you have a chance to see this painting on display. If you do get to see it in real time (always a much better experience than on a phone screen), Id encourage you to spend a while and listen for a story. #salonderefuses2024 salonderefuses2024 #brisbaneportraitprize2024 #brisbaneportraitprize #brisbaneportraiture #margeryforde #brisbaneplaywright #amazingstories #inspiration #femaleartist #womenpaintingwomen #bowerbird #bluethings #bluettreasure #feminine #storiesworthtelling #treasure #memories #collectingmemories #sacred #sacredstories #wisdom #grief #vulnerability

“Poppies to Smile By.” Watercolour on Arches. To launch into 2025, here is my first offering to the world- a happy, bright little piece. Not a lot is going right with our world at the moment. So its important to notice the little things. #watercolour #poppies #painting #feelingdown #findhopeagain
