This exhibition is part of the Affordable Art Fair's special programming for this edition, and I'm thrilled to be transforming my booth into Blue Sky World, a corner of my creative universe, for you to step inside and explore.

The originals

Every piece in this collection has a story. It's about the world I was creating without even realising it, the one I now call Blue Sky World. Looking back, I've revisited moments from my career and specific artworks that mean something, pieces that taught me something, or marked a real milestone. Each one has been recreated with a twist years later, straight from the originals I painted back then.

Here is a preview of 3 of the artworks that will be available on the 27th August 12pm AEST. If you are an email subscriber you will have an early preview and access to artworks on the 24th August 6pm AEST
