I'm in a group exhibition of works by 11 artists in response to our field trip to Fowler’s Gap, out past Broken Hill. I’m showing my biggest cyanotype which is also a Silueto. I’d love to see you at our opening event on 1 December, 6.30-8.30pm at Comber Street Studios, Paddington NSW. Let me know if you can come!

Art Gallery Visit Some works from a current exhibition by artist @louisgrantcreative. I love the use of glass as a vessel for light and poetry. 🎨🎨🎨 @unswgalleries @unswada #MattiDoingArt #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #australianart #finesartsstudent #finearts #australianartist #artaustralia #sydneyart #sydneyartist #instaartwork #instaartoftheday #painting #contemporarypainting #abstractpainting #acrylic #artgallery #artexhibition #sydney #glass #neon #neonlights #exhibition 23 (at UNSW Galleries) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck-Nx1ELZJ5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some drawings and paintings from last night’s Cursed Paint and Sip at uni. I love the way the unexpected tasks, constrained resources, and bountiful sangria stretch my brain and force me to make art in surprising ways. … @unsw @unswada @arccreativeunsw #MattiDoingArt #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #australianart #finesartsstudent #finearts #australianartist #artaustralia #sydneyart #sydneyartist #instaartwork #instaartoftheday #drawing #painting #portrait #acrylicpaint #colourpencils #drawing #painting #paintandsip #portrait 21 (at Arc Creative UNSW) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkP8m5_B0y_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Making photograms with philodendron leaves on black and white paper at a recent meetup of @unswad_photography.

I went to an art therapy group session arranged by @arccreativeunsw and it was interesting. I did a lot of drawings and paintings - which is typical and awesome on its own - but I eventually realised they were all about creating order from chaos by finding a structure to build upon with the multiplicity of thoughts going on in my head. When your feet are firmly on the ground your head is safe in the clouds! 1. Every mark I could see using random colour pencils with my left hand. 2. Selena who happened to be opposite me. 3. Selena’s hair as a butterfly print. 4. Selena’s hair original. The spatters were a happy little accident. 5. Using up the yellow and red paint in homage to being in the John Olsen studio at uni. … @unswada #MattiDoingArt #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #australianart #finesartsstudent #finearts #australianartist #artaustralia #sydneyart #sydneyartist #instaartwork #instaartoftheday #drawing #painting #arttherapy #portrait #acrylicpaint #colourpencils #johnolsen #selena 20 (at Arc Creative UNSW) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci6_M4grVgW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Somersby Falls Paintings I’ve been working on some new paintings and often find myself staring into the void as I mix the paint. The good news is that the void is pretty awesome to stare into! Such pretty colours! 🌳 💦 🪨 🎨 @australia @australiagram @visitnsw @sydney @nswnationalparks @unsw @unswada @arccreativeunsw @unswadhonours #MattiDoingArt #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #australianart #finesartsstudent #finearts #australianartist #artaustralia #sydneyartist #instaartwork #instaartoftheday #painting #contemporarypainting #abstractpainting #acrylic #abstract #abstractart #waterfallwednesday #waterfallporn #nswparks #centralcoast #somersbyfalls #australianbush #australia #weareexplorers #mixingpaint 26 (at Arc Creative UNSW) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChrKW0vBskE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Paid a visit to the National Art School gallery where they have a retrospective on Colin Lanceley, one of the OG Imitation Realists from the 1960s. I didn’t know what to expect before I walked in the door but I found myself entranced by the colour, detail, and whimsy of his landscape paintings. It’s on until August and well worth a visit. 🎨🎨🎨 @nas_au #MattiDoingArt #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #australianart #finesartsstudent #finearts #australianartist #artaustralia #sydneyart #sydneyartist #instaartwork #instaartoftheday #painting #contemporarypainting #abstractpainting #acrylic #exhibition #retrospective #imitationrealism #1960s #1960sart #nasgallery 22 (at National Art School) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfsc3sZhYT0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Jenny Birt Painting Award Hooray! I was awarded a Highly Commended for my triptych of canvases developed from my art-walking practice climbing mountains. I summited six peaks from Moore Park to Bungonia to Mount Druitt. There’s something to be said for getting out in the fresh air and sunshine! 🏔 🏔 🏔 🚶‍♂️ ☀️ @centparklands @unsw @unswada @ad___space #MattiDoingArt #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #australianart #finesartsstudent #finearts #australianartist #artaustralia #sydneyart #sydneyartist #instaartwork #instaartoftheday #painting #contemporarypainting #abstractpainting #abstract #abstractart #performanceart #mapping #summit #artwalking #painting #landscapeart #landscapepainting 26 (at AD Space) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfXUt-Ehb6D/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
