Today marks Eid al-Fitr and the end of Ramadan.
At the beginning I acknowledged that many were approaching the holy month with a heavy heart. For many, this is a day reserved for celebration is arriving alongside grief, fear, and a deep uncertainty for the future.
I hope that here in Australia, ore wherever you find yourself this year, you are still able to find moments of safety, connection, and belonging. That even in the midst of everything, there are spaces, however small, where you can gather, reflect, and be held in community.
Joy and sorrow. Celebration and grief. Can all exist together.
Thinking of those for whom this Eid feels different.
Eid Mubarak.

For 14 years Morgana was a quiet presence in my studio and my life.
She curled up beside me while I worked, kept watch through long days of rest when my health faltered, and walked beside me through more chapters of life than I can count.
Yesterday I said goodbye to my familiar.
The studio feels different today. My life will too.
I’ve written about her, how she came into my life and the years we shared together.
If you would like to read her story, you can find it on Substack.

ART FRIENDS AND DIY PEEPS!!! Does anyone have a heavy duty glue gun I could borrow for a piece I’m working on. Ideally it would be around 60w and have 12mm sticks. Please DM me if you have something that would help. Thank you ☺️

As Ramadan begins, I am aware that many Muslims will be entering this holy month with heavy hearts.
My hope is that you’re able to practise your faith here in Australia with a sense of safety and belonging, knowing that, despite the noise from certain politicians and media outlets, most Australians do not share those views.
One of our greatest strengths has always been our ability to embrace people from different cultures, traditions and beliefs. Australia is built on that diversity. It’s what makes this place richer, kinder, and more resilient.
Wishing peace, reflection, and gentleness to all who are observing Ramadan.
