I reopened my gallery on March 20, 2021. This time in the main street of Canowindra, again with a cafe and with a shop. It's a small, intimate place filled with not only my paintings, but things that influence my particular creative practice.  It's an immersive experience into how I view the world and my paintings.  I've always been independent from an artistic point of view especially, and I wanted my gallery to reflect this.  I have a wall dedicated to memorabilia, images of things that have influenced my work, a display of kitsch and vintage items that create my world. Trust me, this place is no white cube. 

​

My studios have always been attached to the kitchen so I've always painted and cooked together. Like the art that inspires my work, and a background in languages,  my cooking is usually culturally based. I make the cakes for the cafe and I have a special fondness for Middle Eastern dessert baking and often make what I consider the queen of desserts - baklava. I also love using rosewater, orange flower water, cardamom and cinnamon when I cook.  

​

I have included in my shop Greek, Turkish and Persian confectionery, and a small array of Middle Eastern ingredients.  I am always adding to the shop as the items are all loosely connected to the art - tea canisters with kimono designs on them, Turkish Delight, sugared almonds, the fragrances of the candles for sale and patchouli and cinnamon oil. 

​

Tea is also something that I cherish, along with good coffee, and I have been collating an array of teas, both traditional and innovative, for the shop. They are available in house and in 100g bags, and are always loose leaf. There is also a collection of teaware including teapots, canisters and strainers.

​

The venue is small and intimate. Please note I can not cater for functions or take bookings. 

​

We are open every weekend and most public holidays from 9am to 4pm and by appointment.
