Helping Women with Endometriosis

Australia and New Zealand

Welcome to our February edition of “Artists Down Under”.

This month we celebrate Valentine’s Day. A day of showing appreciation for love and what better way for the artists to celebrate it but with a Monthly Challenge as “Hearts” as their subject. You can definitely tell our artists are all full of love by their amazing images that they produced.

Andrew Haysom has been keeping up with all of Adobe’s updates in Photoshop and this month he brings us a tutorial on “Brush Tip Outlines”. Something I am sure a lot of us didn’t know about.

Our special Interview this month that Maureen Maxwell has kindly organised is with Judi Lapsley Miller. Judi is a very talented and successful artist based in New Zealand who successfully exhibits and sells her bird photography images. Judi kindly shares her journey with us.

We are delighted to share another of the Chinese Whispers series with you. It’s amazing how the girls challenge and push each other every month while having heaps of fun.

Our Featured Artist this month that I would love to share with you is Rosa Perry. Rosa is a very talented artist and has put together a series of images called “Peculiar Houses” that she has so kindly shared with us and allowed us to feature. I know you are all going to love these.

Well that’s it from me for this month. I hope everyone has a very special Valentine’s day filled with love and happiness. Stay safe & be kind to each other.
