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 emersive 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 my cooking is usually culturally based. I make the cakes for the cafe and I have a special fondness for Middle Eastern Cake 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 make the cakes. There are also homemade pies available with fillings such as Beef Bourguignon, Chicken Korma, Moroccan Lamb and Ratatouille. A small array of toasted sandwiches are available too. 

​

I have included in my shop Greek, Middle Eastern and Persian confectionery, various teas, spice mixes and locally produced olive oil.  I am always adding to the shop as the items are all loosely connected to the art - tea cannisters with kimono designs on them, Turkish delight, sugared almonds, the fragrances of the candles for sale and patchouli and cinnamon oil. 

​

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