So Re-framed has opened and closed and was yet another fantastic experience. Love the peeps who made it all come to fruition and a special shout out to all who made it down to White Canvas on opening night to help us celebrate our third group show with many more to come in the pipe line!
Here are a few sneak peaks at our opening night shenanigans, for more check us out on our Facebook page!
A little bit of late night blogging never hurt anyone right?!
This has been the longest week ever and it's only Wednesday! But never fear, the coffee and the juice maker will keep me strong (especially when you get a little crazy with the juice recipes and the beetroot and the purple carrots come out to play and you're more interested in the pretty colours being spat out of the juicer than the juice itself...) and the art will be made/ uni assignments completed/ exams studied for...
How do you see me? A series of necklaces crafted from upcycled and vintage materials.
These are a sneak peek preview of what I've been working hard away on and will be part of my addition to the group show that opens this Saturday at White Canvas Gallery, you should probably come and check us out.
This is what trying to organise yourself around an exhibition and an impending engineering exam at the same time looks like (not to mention collecting the residual brain smoosh at the end of all this!)
With the art making that is, not with the drinking of the booze!
I'm sleepy and super un-motivated to write about these newest photos except to say that I desperately need to acquire more colours and definitly am changing what I initially wrote as my brief for the exhibition...you can't restrain creativity!!
Here's what I got up to Saturday arvo, rubber gloves on and sweet tunes blaring!
I swear, I don't even know how long it's been between art making sessions so today I finally decided to pull my finger out, get motivated and start making rather than just thinking about it!
With the sun almost shining and some sweet tunes... (don't judge! you know who you are)
and some maybe not so sexy painting clothes I made a good old mess, and a great start to two new pieces for a show set for late August.

This past week in Brisbane had been foul and rainy and fairly well just plain miserable but this morning the sunshine happened and i am making the most of a day off work on the verandah, soaking up that vitamin D!
My name is Morgan, I live in sunny {most of the time} Brisbane and love a good gin & tonic.
Creating things people like to look at, wear and have around them is what I love to do and red licorice, pretty shoes, skinny flat whites, chocolate icecream, playing hockey and a really good baked cheescake are other loves of my life.
This is my place to show whoever is watching cool things I find and pretty things I create. I hope you enjoy xx
The thing I love most is finding something special and using it to make another something special or being inspired to create something totally new.
When I have the time or am asked by a friend I love to draw and paint with archival inks on beautiful paper to create works that will hopefully be loved by those who hang them in their homes.
I also love to create jewelery and homewares from upcycled and pre-loved objects, giving something a new lease on life is pretty exciting in itself. These pieces I sell at my shop on etsy.com, at the Reverse Garbage gift shop in Brisbane and at local markets.
I like to think of it all as organically abstract.
