Where the sky dreams in color 💞

This piece by @kmctcreative started with a soft gradient base - layering blues, purples & pinks to create that dreamy, ethereal sky

The rainbow was added in thin translucent layers so it melts naturally into the sky instead of sitting on top

Finally, the moon was detailed carefully to give it a soft luminous glow - like it’s quietly floating through a surreal universe

This one is something calm, magical & slightly unreal… like a dream you don’t want to wake up from 🫶

In remembering our amazing dad, I find myself overwhelmed by the profound impact he had on our lives. He was truly remarkable, unique in ways that are hard to express, and his grand personality touched everyone around him. Dad had the rare ability to bring joy and warmth into any room, exuding a magnanimous spirit that made everyone feel valued and loved. Every memory I hold of him is a treasure, and I am so grateful for the moments we shared together, even amidst the heartache of his passing five years ago. His legacy shines brightly in my life; I feel immensely blessed to have been his child. His light continues to inspire me daily, and I carry his love and teachings in my heart. It’s undeniable that he was the greatest of all time—a true beacon of love and integrity whose influence will linger forever in our lives. His spirit lives on, and I cherish the joy he brought to our family. Thinking of our beautiful mum, my siblings, his amazing sisters, his adored grandchildren many many folk who loved him dearly. Love you Dad xoxo

Just a few snaps from our opening evening of “Paths Unfold” group exhibition on Saturday arvo.
We opened. You showed up. It was wild.
Thanks to everyone who packed the room, asked the tough questions, and stood in awe with us.
Still buzzing from the energy of the opening, thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the opening of “Paths Unfold”
Your support, curiosity, and conversation made it unforgettable. Form. Color. Tension. Clarity.
Modern doesn’t mean safe.
Exploring balance, space, and the break between them in.
Now showing at @26_advantage right through to the end of June. Catch it before it disappears, come see the work in person!

The opening of “Paths Unfold” group exhibition @26_advantage last evening.
A night painted in wonder. Brushstrokes and sculpture met hearts, walls once bare now whispered with soul.
We gathered not just to see, but to feel—
to honor the visionaries who turn silence into color, and light into stories.
A huge thank you to all the wonderful creators and their guests, for sharing, your presence and walking with us through the gallery of art that speaks.
The celebration lives on, in every glance, every spark, every still-beating frame, till the end of June, so please come in and see this showcase this incredible talent of over 20 artists. A very big thank you to our photographer Extraordinaire @kerry_evitts_art
