A residency at Geelong Grammar School

I recently completed a 2-week residency at Geelong Grammar School in Corio. It was a fantastic experience so much so that you  leave a part of yourself there! All the artists-in-residence stay in the same apartment Ludwig Herschfeld-Mack lived in and it certainly adds something special to have that connection. Great to see how talented the art mentors are too as this means the students are in good hands. Special thanks to Peter Bajer, Head of Visual Arts, for inviting me to do this residency and he is certainly continuing the breadth and rigour of Hirschfeld-Mack's teaching legacy.

Following are some pics with the students who asked many great questions, the studio space where I was a working, some of my paintings on display, going back 40 years to the present and views of the apartment inside and from the windows.
