In this post, I am going to share with you my sketchbook! I finished it this morning and am so happy with the result.… Continue reading Brooklyn Art Library Sketchbook
We are returning to Australia this week for The Untitled Drawing Club to visit the Heide Museum of Modern Art. I must admit that I have never heard of this museum. It is located in Bulleen, on the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, about 13 km from Melbourne's CBD. I was… Continue reading The Untitled Drawing Club: Week 7
This week marks the halfway point for The Untitled Drawing Club - six weeks in with six more to go. We are travelling to Finland, to visit the Helsinki Art Museum or HAM for short.

Seeing the works displayed chronologically allowed for a new appreciation of how western art… Continue reading GOMA: European Masterpieces from the Metropolitan Museum of Art

How can museums ensure that the content they are delivering during the pandemic not only engages but supports their audience? How do we know if… Continue reading MuseumNext Digital Summit: Day Three
If I was asked to summarise day two of the MuseumNext conference in one sentence it would be the following: COVID-19 has accelerated the need for museums to re-consider traditional ways of collecting and venture into the realm of collecting digital content from a diverse audience. I really enjoyed listening to how museums are adapting… Continue reading MuseumNext Digital Summit: Day Two
