I am excited to say I have work in an exhibition in New Hope, Pennsylvania at 9 in Hand Press. It is a group printmaking exhibition and i have a black and white linocut in it. You can see all the works on the 9 in Hand Press website. Below is a snapshot from the website.

My work is called ‘Sanctuary’. It depicts our local penguins enjoying their home on Middle Island, Warrnambool. My work is about how native animals enjoy their homes as much as we enjoy ours. I believe we could live in harmony together with a bit of thought and care. In fact, having native animals in our immediate environment would enrich our lives and improve the quality of our environment.

The penguins on Middle Island were nearly all killed by foxes. A local egg farmer, Swampy Marsh had an idea to have his Maremma Dog (called Oddball) guard the penguins. Like they guarded his chooks from the foxes. It worked. Now there are new Maremma Dogs guarding the penguins and the population of penguins has increased considerably. A movie was made from this great story called Oddball. I recommend you see it.
