PROJECTS
Collaboration with long-time friend and artist Anna Glynn has produced a beautiful 64-page book featuring 25 paintings from Anna Glynn’s ‘Strange Memories’ collection. Available in hardcover with jacket or a soft-cover version, the book is supported by a CD of haunting music and a theatre production.
A series of powerful dreamlike paintings evoke a young girl’s recollection of her special place on the Yarra River.
Her poignant narration will move readers on a journey to their own time and place.

From a bee-sting to a childhood re-visited.
A chance visit in the doctor’s waiting room saw painter Anna Glynn read and apply to an advertisement for an ‘Artist in Residence’ program. Anna’s application was successful. What she didn’t know was that the homestead she would live in was an old neighbouring property directly across the river from the farm where Anna grew up.
An emotional journey followed – both magical and nostalgic – creating a special body of work. A 12-metre panoramic lounge window overlooking the place of her childhood became the studio and doorway to Anna’s wonderful story – her strange memories.
