Way back in the end years of the last century (1998) I enrolled into a full time Two Year Diploma of Visual Arts Course which I might add I loved every minute of.
But unfortunately after 6 months I came to realise that there was no regular money to be made out painting so I jumped ship over to the Diploma of Graphic Design, another 2 year full time course.
It was during the latter part of the “Graphics” that we students were introduced to a newish thing called Websites and how to make them. I enjoyed every minute of web design work and from such and 20 years later I am still doing the Studioquigs Website work.
Around 2015 my interests and desire to paint stirred again. My dear friend encouraged me to join the Emu Park Art Gallery and thankfully I took her advice. It has been most rewarding and my only regret was that I did not pick up the brushes earlier.
My opinion here, if I may … “It doesn’t matter if you are good or bad at it, if you love painting, or think you might love to have a crack at it, just do it”
“It is so good for the soul”

EMU PARK ART GALLERY
As mentioned above since 2015 I have had the honour of being a Member of the Emu Park Art Gallery.
In September 2021 the Gallery was rehoused to a magnificent brand new building at 13 Hill Street, which is located right in the heart of beautiful Emu Park.
If you have not had the opportunity to visit the Local Emu Park Gallery and Gift Shop then I highly recommend that you do so. Admission is FREE and the Gallery is open from Wednesday to Sunday 10am to 4pm.
