Sumi-e is the Japanese art of black ink drawings on thin Japanese papers.
Inks can’t be erased from the paper once you apply it and the rhythm of the strokes are very important as well as the colours and the sizes of the strokes.

PPA group exhibition
Most attendees had never been to the site and were all very impressed by, not only the studio, but by the beautiful surrounding park. They loved the variety of work displayed in our exhibition and said how joyous, fun and uplifting it was.
We felt the opening was a perfect opportunity of engaging with our local community to give more awareness of the fantastic facilities available at the studio.
The exhibition will be on display in our Mezzanine space until the end of March so come on down and have a look. The studio is open to our Paper Arts group on Mondays and Thursdays after 10 am.
Sending a lot of love to the person who bought my Tiger!
My Sumi ink artwork at the group show has sold in 2 days!
I’m so delighted to hear the news!
Big thanks to Hiroko-sensei and Yumiko-san at the restaurant Kyusyu.
Online Group Exhibition is on NOW!
Lost Bird Found Project in November
I created some hand-made birds for the Lost Bird Found Project which is to raise awareness and spark conversations about mental health.
Would you like to participate in the program with me? Let’s create your own birds and hide them for others to find and keep. It will be better with more participants! Birds are a symbol of freedom, hope and wisdom. For more info, please check North Sydney Council’s website.
I made a video with my bird. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb_ecAJykZc
Group exhibition at Narrabeen Tramshed
Mini exhibition at Narrabeen Tramshed Community centre
19-20 June 2021
It was rained again. But inside the exhibition space was filled with laughter and happiness.
We exhibited our own works and painted near the tables, talked and demonstrated our skills and learnt a lot.
Thank you for sharing a wonderful rainy weekend!
Group exhibition continues at North Sydney Council Chamber
When we were restricted to our homes, it was time for me to clean up in my studio.
Most of my schedule of the workshops, demonstrations and exhibitions were cancelled or postponed, I have plenty of time to relax and do my own projects.
One side is closed, then the other opportunity has arrived. 25 members of the Primrose Paper Art group were given the space to exhibit the collaboration work at Project 2060: Home Ward Bound at Coal Loader Centre, North Sydney. 25 of us had learnt to make vessels using paper handmade from recycled paper. The project was great for all the paper artists with all levels of expertise and who work in a variety of mediums, to learn a new form of paper expression.
It was a fun project & a big exhibition. (The report and photo was in my blog on March 2021)
After that, we moved to a new venue at InTransit Art Space, North Sydney Council Chambers
1st Floor, 200 Miller Street, North Sydney till 19 July 2021.
Open 9am-5pm, Mon-Friday
