Life without art is empty ​

I LOVE art, I love artists (I married one) and I never feel guilty buying art even when I’m almost broke.
 
Wayne and I have lived a fabulous life thus far, making films, travelling the world and recently creating an Internationally Recognised Street Arts Precinct ‘Artists Lane’ in Windsor, Melbourne. But I think the best is yet to come.
 
So here we are. We’ve finally made the tree change to our stunning 10 acres in Blackwood Forest, ready for our third and final act, and already we’re embarking on another adventure: Chaotica. Where the city meets the country. That’s how we like to put it.

We have had our little farm for 20 years but have moved here permanently after Wayne needed open heart surgery. 
 
We’re still making films, Wayne’s into his painting and I’m loving this beautiful chaotic life. We haven’t missed the city for a second and look forward to the next leg of our journey and hope in our own crazy way to add value to all around us.
 
Michael Scott has been artist in residence here on our farm for the past two months. I have been privileged to host two hugely successful exhibitions of Michael’s work at Chaotic Gallery, the first gallery we owned in Windsor. He’s the real deal.
 
Michael has drawn inspiration from the spectacular views out of his studio window and from the surrounding coast and also from his vast internal landscape.
 
Those works will be exhibited next Sunday afternoon, October 16. Another reason to come is to see the shipping containers on our land that renowned Melbourne street artist Heesco Khosnaran has painted.
 
There will also be local wine, cheeses and live music, so make an afternoon of it.
