New year, new journey!

I cannot believe that my last post was in July 2012! It is now 2013 and I will try to write a little more this year, I hope. Life does get in the way, doesn't it? In the latter half of 2012 I made a trip to country New South Wales and enjoyed the beauty of New England country down under. I taught another term of watercolour classes before taking a break from teaching in November till now. Teaching has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of the year, and watching my students progress gives me tremendous satisfaction. As I was giving demonstrations at every lesson, my own skills have improved too!

2013 marks the beginning of a new phase in my life in art. I have just started as volunteer facilitator of  a new community arts group in Subiaco and this will be my "baby" for a while.  The Art Seeds Project aims to provide a safe, relaxed and nurturing space once a week for people to explore their creativity.. People bring along their own art/craft project to do alongside others for a small fee which includes tea/coffee. Absolute beginners will receive help and guidance by the facilitator or more experienced members.
