While in the NT I created 'Outback Connections' an exhibition of works using handmade papers, mixed media and items found at Curtin Springs Station,
show, share and involve the locals, visitors, staff and students!
AND managed a creative project with 60+ students and teachers including 'School of the Air'

Workshop @dogwoodcrossingmiles, thanks Ruby❣️We all had a great time! Team at Dogwood Gallery

A few friends and I spent a couple of hours doing a creative textural art workshop with Ruby Purple at my home last week. It was such fun, every one loved it. We loved the creative freedom of expressive flow. With no experience in any of these mediums I gained a wealth of knowledge and new skills. It was fun too! Jeannine
