Creating my portfolio

I've spent a lot of the past two decades in my work creating artwork for schools, staff, and organisations. My artwork is even held in the Vatican.

Sadly (maybe stupidly), I've never given much of a thought to documenting my work. So I'm going to start re-tracing my artwork and creating a folio.

My good sista Leesa Watego found an online image of one of the very first works I did for an organisation. It was for the Manly Warringah Reconciliation Group.

Mary Mac's Canonisation

In 2011, I had an opportunity to travel to Rome for the Canonisation of Sister Mary MacKillop. I had the intention of blogging about the event however I really struggled to find get web access once we arrived in Italy.

Rome was amazing. The canonisation was inspiring. I would love to visit Rome again and take more time to see more of the Vatican.

A quick update

It's been over two years since I last posted on this blog space. So much has happened since then.

I was a participant in World Youth Day in Sydney. I'll post images to my new Flickr account as soon as I can.

I've also started a 365 Day project - one photo per day for each day of 2012. Hopefully I'll keep this up.

I'm not great at all this social stuff, but Leesa keeps pushing me and I'm slowly getting into it.
