When I lived in Sydney, I enjoyed a bit of a ritual in the month of June – watching the Vivid Festival from the Quay Restaurant in the Rocks. This year we did it again, but this time, it was a little different.

Travel is a big part of my artistic process. I find different cultures and landscapes to be very inspiring, and I always find it fascinating to watch how my painting develops after spending time away.

The Affordable Art Fair returns to Brisbane on May 7 to 10 at the Exhibition Building in the Brisbane Showgrounds. The Fair is a vibrant expression of contemporary art designed to demystify the art world for both seasoned collectors and first-time buyers.

There are 7 more days for the April Easter Sale. It has been a wonderful month so far with a number of new collectors purchasing work along with some repeat (and very appreciated) customers. Please use the code EASTER26 to receive the 30% discount or email me directly at admin@dinahwakefield.com.

My paintings are generally inspired by the environment around me, the rivers and coastline of the Noosa region and the beautiful landscape in the hinterland. But there is a deeper inspiration, that comes from my childhood and my memory of growing up in The Long Mynd.

With all the tension in the world right now, I thought it would be a good moment for a positive news story. For the month of April, my paintings will be 30% off when purchased through the website. Please use the code EASTER26 to receive the discount or email me directly at admin@dinahwakefield.com.

When I wander around my community, my overall impression is that people just want to be happy. They want experiences, they want engagement, they want a peaceful and happy life. The last thing they want, is war.

Noosa is a wonderful place to live with many beautiful natural assets, but the jewel in the crown is the Noosa headland. I am a regular on the coastal walk to Hells Gate and am once again finding inspiration from the sandstone cliffs and the ocean blue.
