David Jones Visits Italy ...

Well that is actually David Jones & I visit Italy!

In the little hillside township or Cortona in the Tuscan countryside I will be teaching The Letterforms of David Jones and more, a six day sumptuous course from June 8th to June 15th 2013.


I have a flyer to pass on to interested parties. Click here to download this flyer.  If you are at all interested yourself, make your reservation with Patrick at Toscana Americana early as class numbers are limited.

Annie Cicale is teaching - The Artist's Book: vessel for word and image the week before me so you may like a real adventure and do both!

Get yourself over to Tuscany for an exciting and creative holiday among friends in a cosy atmosphere in this gorgeous medieval town! I will be happy to speak with anyone who is interested in my travel arrangements if you were going by yourself or if you have any questions at all.

The journey begins ...

To say I am fortunate is an understatement. Time and time again I find myself in the most wonderful of situations that allow me to experience extraordinary things.  What I love most is I am always ... always learning something new. Today for example I saw my first driver less car.  Never!!!! I could barely believe it.  Some one reading this in fifty to one hundred years time may chuckle and say "cars had drivers?" .  I am in Pittsburgh after all. I guess you could say today is day two of this particular journey. Day one was spent on a series of aircraft to get me from Tasmania to Pittsburgh USA. The route I like to take when traveling to the US is Sydney - Dallas avoiding that horrible commuter nightmare, LA.  All the flights went well, reasonably on time and smooth transitions. I am getting to know Dallas/Fort Worth very well and would highly recommend it.  For me it is a suitable hub for flying in from Australia and connects me to pretty well anywher...

Making time my friend ... and poly myalgia rheumatica

Image
  The past fifteen months has taken its toll on me as there has been a lot of pressure and stress. Self-inflicted of course, as that is the way of things with me. Subsequently I have been diagnosed with (nothing sinister) poly myalgia rheumatica which has seen me at a low painful ebb. Coupled with very high blood pressure which is not a good mix, we are now just getting that under control. As my lovely doctor says "Gemma, you do not want to have a stroke" .  To address the PMR issue I have just started a steroidal pain management treatment and the prognosis is very good. I have known for some six months or so that something was not sitting quite right with my health so it was only about a month ago that the body responded with a " stop now ". It’s just a bit of a pain really but I do wish to live a long a fruitful life. Who doesn't, right!? Some of you know I have taken steps to slow the rhythm of my everyday life to manageable and more enjoyable levels. While t...
