final few days of "stars only come out at nite' exhibition
Its the last weekend of my current show 'star's only come out at night ' exhibition in toowomba at the very fabulous TOSARI gallery . So if you in the area go and take a look. While every painting i do is always great an exhibition is far more special cause all paintings tend to work together ......well thats always my goal . I love a theme for a show it just gives lots more continuity and can really showcase a style to the max . The address again for the gallery is 4 Margaret st toowomba the staff are most welcoming and say i said HI....................x

free as a bird
'as free as a bird' is from my current exhibition in toowoomba ..............its on till the 6th of november .I have always been very grateful for my talent ...........ALWAYS .It was always my dream to paint ,now its my dream to paint forever .While in my art college days i witnessed lots of people who abused there talent with drug and alcohol . This was always to me tragic and sad , i have an eccentric nature and enough issues being very dyslexic that i decided years ago i would never touch drugs . Mind you i dont judge other that do its an individual choice. I respect my talent so much so i eat healthy and exercise all the time .................... exercise helps with depression that all creative's tend to suffer with from time to time . Also what u dont know is you really have to be rather fit to be a modern painter , all those rather large canvas's ect . Its quiet taxing on the body as much as it is on the brain. I have always felt as free as a bird cause my creativity and imagination is never ending and certainly not hindered now or ever by drugs or alcohol . I am not perfect however i love a glass of french champagne cause its fabulous .x

stars only come out at nite
It seems ironic, since my name is Starr that this exhibition will be my first ever to be focused on the beautiful lights of the night sky. One of my earliest memories as a child was having my mother sing ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ to me and in my teens it was Madonna’s ‘Lucky Star’ that had my imagination reeling. Now as an adult I indulge my passions in painting and I love nothing more than finding beauty in the night. The wonder of the city at night and the magic of a starlit garden both feature heavily in my latest work. However, this exhibition heralds a stunning new aspect to my most iconic imagery in ‘Midnight Swan’; a sensuous new work that unleashes the dark beauty of the ballet. This is but a taste of what will be on show when the ‘Starrs’ come out at night… the opening nite is on the 14th of october and is strictly invite only so please contact the gallery directly if you wish to attend .ph 07 4638 4455.they are more than happy to send you out an invite TOSARI GALLERIES TOOWOMMBA . QLD australia This is the blurb about the current show ............just thought i would share x ohhhhhh and my latest alice painting in the series "wish upon a star" |

carnival of flowers
yes thats right its that time of the year again ......................when a beautiful country town called 'toowomba celebrates carnival of flowers . This town is situated in Queensland in Australia in a region called the darling downs . Ok so yes i do paint flowers but till very recently while they sell all over they were a major hit in darwin for many years . Now it would seem a city famous for it gardens and flowers has taken a shine to my floral paintings. Whether they are on white back grounds or the black ones they are very emotive . Like all girls i love flowers who dose not , i love to receive them as well, again who dose not . except this one time ...................... a now ex boyfriend forgot my birthday completely and sent irises as a big I am so sorry babe . so rather than get mad i got even the only way an artist can . I painted the beautiful flowers and sold the painting a few days later . I then shopped till i dropped . ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the fun . So as u can well understand why flowers can be very emotive . x
