It was so nice to get out of the tracksuit pants I've been sporting all week and into some proper clothes with make-up on last night to head out to the opening of Spiro Grace Art Rooms in Spring Hill.
Brad, Harry & I decided we needed some adult time out so we decided to leave Max with his gorgeous Nanny Rhonda for a few hours whilst we attended the gallery opening. I had my first glass of French champagne in 9 months upon arriving at the gallery. It went straight to my head of course. We ended up purchasing 2 paintings by emerging artist Simone Louise Gillespie. I was so thrilled we decided on them straight away as every painting I looked at as the night progressed had a sold sticker.
Gallery owners Paul Spiro {yes he is related to me - he is my uncle} and Renai Grace will be showcasing emerging {and therefore quite reasonably priced} artists in their space on a quarterly basis. I for one can't wait for their next exhibition.
For all enquiries or to be added to SGAR's mailing list email Renai renai@sgar.com.au

Congrats on your lovely new additions! Especially love the second painting.
Hi there and thank you so much for this blog! Love it and love your flair!
I could not figure out how to follow your Blog..... couldn't ever find the followers tab... maybe you don't have one?
Keep on inspiring!
I had not seen her work before. It's absolutely beautiful. I just went and checked out her website!

Adding visiting Spiro Grace Art Rooms to my "to do" list....sounds wonderful.
Look forward to visiting there soon - always exciting being involved with art!
lovely! i so love the idea of buying the work of an unknown (or less known) artist - it provides so many thrills - first, the fact that you have sort of discovered an unknown treasure, and also that you are supporting a career.
wow - i absolutely love the bottom painting! Id love to see more so i might have to join the mailing list - its so hard to find great art that you love that doesn't cost a bomb! Plus im in Sydney so its good to support new artists (& get in before they are too famous to be able to afford the art!)
