Hello! Perhaps you would like to know what I use donations for....

I used to travel locally to do plein aire paintings on my bushwalking expeditions, but in 2018 I considered a longer journey. At every turn I was blocked by serious illness, weather, house sale (which didn't eventuate), car that died,bushfires and finally COVID19. My goodness what a journey

But my health has improved and I got another car and things are finally looking hopeful again. There's only COVID19 and access to the parks now.

HEADLAND PROJECT 2018-2020

I am planning a long trip down the NSW east coast to undertake a major writing and painting project called "Headland" starting 2018. It will culminate in a gallery exhibition and a book of my writings on philosophy, politics, memories and responses to that amazing coastline. So your donation would help to pay for camp fees and pertrol and the framing and publications of the project.

My artwork has a strong philosophy behind it that seeks to foster appreciation of our natural environment (which is fast disappearing) and to challenge our thoughts about who we are and how we are living within our chosen lifestyles. My work has a strong spiritual aspect about treading lightly on the land and working in harmony with the rythms of the Earth to support all forms of life we share the universe with. Your donation has supported and encouraged me to do more of this work.

The development of the project will be updated on my blog, so join and follow progress there. Posts have already begun on my Facebook page: Jessica Blythe Art Studio.

I like to hear from my visitors, so email me here if you have something to say.

Kind regards

JB
