Country View This was a group commission for birthday present I was fortunate to receive. Strange what you remember about a painting. People in the group were happy with the painting. One person in the group asked me questions like “do you think it’s a good painting? How do you know if it’s a good painting?” luckily I liked this painting as I think it was well painted, a good composition and exploration of painting application. How do you know how much a painting is worth? You never know what people will think about a painting. Sometimes it’s the opposite of what you expect. . . . . . . . #melbourneartist #aegeandesignsgallery #portsea #rickmatear #professionalartist #australiangalleries #abbotsfordconvent #aegeangallery #contemporaryart #contemporaryarts #artexhibitions #painting @daily_collector #contemporary @australian.artists #melbourneart #groups #commissionpainting #questioning #questioneverything #opposite #groups

Congratulations to Jim & Tina on our 3rd SOLD PHOTO TOGETHER!!! Thank you for your repeat business over the years. Enjoy your new toy in great health!

People often ask me, “why flowers?” 🤍 Flowers aren’t just pretty petals; they’re memory-makers, dopamine boosters, and happiness inducers (as you can see from that smile)! Did you know that just looking at flowers releases the ‘feel-good’ hormone, dopamine? Or that studies show people are happier when gifted flowers as opposed to money? With so many benefits beyond the aesthetics, it only makes sense to incorporate something that brings so much value into your big day. So if you want to create a stunning, memorable, experience - flowers are it. And we can help you with that! Connect with us by filling in the enquiry form via the link in bio or comment ‘ENQUIRE’ below and we’ll send it straight to your DM’s.

What a thrill to celebrate with @abbotsfordconvent for the community’s 20th birthday open day.

WOW! What a weekend! From the Team here at the Convent, we thank YOU the Community for coming along to the Open Day. It was very special for us to see familiar faces and some new. We're here because of you. This is your Convent from yesterday to today and tomorrow. It was a truly joyful day celebrating 20 years since the keys to the Convent were handed to the Abbotsford Convent Foundation by the Victorian Government on 27 April 2004. This followed a mighty 7 year community campaign by the Abbotsford Convent Coalition. An incredible achievement and testament to turning community vision into action - something that inspires us every day! We look forward to seeing you again soon! 💛 𝗙𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 – @dandrogyny at the Convent Silent Disco Walking Tour with @gurududu_melb Pagan Angels led by @suejohnsonmusic The Mavin System by @pierreproske 📸 Photos by @markgambino_ , 2024.

My time with @fox_galleries is drawing to an end, last plein air session, this time at the @abbotsfordconvent. The clash between the beautiful heritage buildings and their often kitsch contents - tacky vintage shops and eclectic antique collections, has been the main propeller of the body of work created during my time here. Open studio event this Thursday 2 May 6-8 pm, please join us for a drink at Fox Galleries, 67 Wellington Street, Collingwood.

Introducing @anniepaxtonstudio Annie is a Naarm (Melbourne) based multidisciplinary designer. She works as an architect alongside her creative practice which seeks to navigate the juncture between architecture and furniture/object, with a keen interest in how design drives and is driven by the poetics of everyday life. Her work tends to reside between the functional and the sculptural; the robust and the fragile; the material and the spatial. With the tendency to imbue works with patina and the trace of the hand, the interrogation of time/process as a material is often a salient driver in her practice.
