Digital art museums?

Mew at Bronte

(28 April 2014 - Acrylics on canvas)

As I worked through a seemingly complicated application form today, I had an art documentary keeping me company in the background.

It was on the growing trend of building and curating online art museums for mass consumption. As I sporadically tuned in to the conversation, I wondered if this is a good thing. How can it NOT be? It gives anyone, including me, a voice and potentially an audience.

I have been trying to cajole my 'business' side to come out more. He emerges from a self-imposed exile every time I have to play the role of 'business' consultant but he returns to hibernation when he is not needed. He is the more organised and technical of the two. I solely rely on him in activities not tagged as artistic. My inner debates are normally between these two polarised characters. Calling truce is an ongoing battle!

BUT enough of that!

In this post, I offer art pieces and projects that I have completed in conjunction with my growing book writing commitments. I have even entered my sweet giraffe called 'Zirafah' in the 2014 Woolahra Small Sculpture competition. Wish me luck!!
