Love Buzz
“Would you believe me when I tell you, you are the Queen of my heart?” *
Love is like a game of cards.
Snap to be precise.
When two cards match you snap your hand down on the cards to take the winnings.
So when you have enough in common with someone in real life, do you snap them up?
Are they your perfect match or does it just look that way from the outside?
You gotta play in order to have a chance to meet your Prince……King!
(as Solitaire is only a game for one.)
But be sure to shuffle the cards well, for you might end up with the Joker.

A-ri ti ti ti
The great Pablo Picasso was quoted once, saying,
“All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once [she] grows up”
I think I know the answer.
Introducing Arite Kannavos, whose signature style of vivid colour, metallic highlights and faint washes, capture the viewers attention, taking them back to a time of childhood innocence and purity.
This is what a dream would look like in paint, poking at your subconscious, evoking emotions that make you smile for no reason.
Her paintings are a reflection of the beauty that is this creative mind.
Not only does she inject art into our world, she also nurtures the creative soul in her friends…. including me!
Arite is a character, and much like her artwork, she is irresistible.
Her work having graced numerous blogs and magazines from Australia and around the world, the darling Miss Arite is one of my friend’s I am most proud of.
I ‘heart’ Arite, and you will too.
Be sure to catch her current show “Enfold” at Gilligan Grant Gallery before it ends on 13th December.

She’s the cheese and I’m the macaroni
Earth angel’s Cupid was spot on when he aimed at this couple There’s no better pairing than the artistic partnership of Rowena Martinich and Geoffrey Carran. Known for their large scale public artworks, it’s your typical love story…..abstract expressionist meets contemporary artist.
Their two painting styles are perfectly combined giving birth to the (now) newlyweds first baby and debut range of Martinich&Carran Homewares. Pieces range from their beautiful handpainted ceramics to their stunning cushions featuring Geoffrey’s incredible cockatoo’s and Rowena’s distinctive fluroscent paintings. You cannot pick up a home/lifestyle magazine without it featuring a story on this highly successful, dynamic duo.
Their most recent open studio event was part of the Surf Coast Arts Trail, where they opened up their beachside home and studio space to the public.
If you missed out and are keen to see more, pop into Koskela this Saturday between 2:00-3:30pm for a chance to meet Rowena Martinich, the neon queen herself, at her new solo exhibition “Inamorata.”
