We frocked up for frocktober. We had a hilarious wedding procession through the streets of Eltham handing out frocktober information to raise funds for Ovarian Cancer research and combined it with our Inconvenient women exhibition. You can see this wedding dress and lots more art at the Eltham Library until 25 October. You can donate through this link https://www.frocktober.org.au/fundraise/inconvenient-bridesmaid. #frocktober #frocktober_ocrf

Fabulous opening for ‘The Lady’s Realm’ on Thursday night! It was like a big warm hug ❤️ Thank you to all who came and helped us celebrate! I am really proud to be exhibiting my series of Cyanotypes alongside 4 incredible artists who I am lucky to call friends.

If you couldn’t make it, the exhibition is open until July 12 (Loft 275 in the Ivanhoe Library & Cultural Hub during library hours). There are works available for sale if you’re looking for a new treasure, and there are lots of lovely cafes nearby if you want to make a trip of it!

Thanks for the 📸 @caitlinrosetakesphotos (slide 4,5,7,8 & 9)
