In this time of isolation, I haven’t been super productive and motivated apart from knitting and yoga... but I have made a few videos about singing! Possibly my favourite thing about these videos is the intro I made for them - it gives me a giggle every time I hear it 🤣🎶💚 #scat #singer #sillyfun https://www.instagram.com/p/B_EpApRnebX/?igshid=1l3ja0rhttqc6

Almost a decade ago I was with my uncle Tony (as well as some more of the extended family) posing with statues in the streets of Boston. Ah, the days when we could travel... A few days after this photo was taken we had a very greasy diner breakfast in New York City, just the two of us. We talked everything and nothing that morning. He told me he had an awful lot of willpower, but what he REALLY needed was WON’Tpower; as in “I won’t have another donut, thanks.” 🤣 #throwbackthursday #travel #memories #runsinthefamily #wontpower (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-eHFV3hlF2/?igshid=1li6xu5388u3q

New Years Eve 2009, back when I was crushing platinum for the good people of Queensland. Ten years seems both a long time ago and hardly any time at all. _________________________________________________ #decade #fbf #flashbackfriday #singerlife #leadsinger #musiclife #giglife (at Ipswich, Queensland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6Shf6fBZVx/?igshid=1k75iu3m2d17m

Today I had a gig on a boat, thankfully there was no call to use the life jackets with the @peppermint_bay_cruises team taking such good care of us! #singerlife #imonaboat (at Peppermint Bay Hotel and Cruise) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6DIpEGhq5Y/?igshid=1m0gqhj782isu

Since y’all seemed to like it so much last time I did my hair... #closeup #selfie #hairdo (at Bellerive, Tasmania, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B58vYNlhW3q/?igshid=secgf5mcutlf

Andrew McArthur Smith 16/01/1956–03/12/2019 Better known as Greedy, this guy wrote my first ever favourite song (Live It Up) and I loved seeing him perform with Mental as Anything. Died after a serious heart attack this morning 💔 This picture about 10 years old, performing ‘Live it Up’ with gusto - so glad I got to see him...

A moody looking scene from date night with @brasstrumpetman - we walked around the Constitution Dock area for a while, then had a refreshing (soft) drink on the deck at Mac01, followed by a slap up meal at The Drunken Admiral. Good times 🥰 _____________________________________________ #itmustbelove #hobart #moodygrams (at Constitution Dock) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5hplVChuzb/?igshid=12shwf75qxask

Photograph: this flower is a symbol ______________________________________ When @brasstrumpetman and I got engaged, it seemed a good idea to knit flowers for the wedding. I’m working on a variety of flowers with different petals, leaves, and stems, but this is one of the bouquet flowers. We chose red as the main colour for these roses before we realised it had greater significance; both our mothers had red roses too. It feels right to carry this into our future together 🌹 ______________________________________ #cc19 #creativechallenge #makingart #photography #flower #symbol #itmustbelove (at Bellerive, Tasmania, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5SDM5LB8zd/?igshid=kf7y8qqex7wq

Photograph: it was a dark and stormy night ______________________________________ Things look different at night. Things look particularly different at the end of the night. When you’ve been vibrant and outgoing, talking and laughing, dancing, the life of the party. You feel fabulous, like nothing can tear you down. Then you catch sight of yourself in a mirror and wonder how anyone could buy the illusion. ______________________________________ #cc19 #creativechallenge #makingart #photography #dark #stormy #nightout (at Bellerive, Tasmania, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5FdwAWBGY6/?igshid=1to2n68kv2g7n

Drawing: the view from the window ______________________________________ I grew up in county Tasmania, far from major light pollution, and especially as a teenager the isolation wasn’t always welcome. In summer when night fell late and the light from our house was the only light within a kilometre, the moths would get confused and spend hours at the windows. The image of those moths at the window, silvery-brown, surrounded by the blackness, stays in my mind’s eye to this day. ______________________________________ #cc19 #creativechallenge #makingart #drawing #moth #windows #lepidoptera https://www.instagram.com/p/B5CzETVhu9G/?igshid=1mzguz9nrebid

Drawing: a twinkle in your eye ______________________________________ Went literal on this one, but not quite realistic. I mean, it’s sort of realistic, but it’s not accurate to life. You know what I mean? Anyhoo! Then I had a bit of fun playing with filters, I’ve enjoyed today’s challenge! ______________________________________ #cc19 #creativechallenge #makingart #drawing #eye #closeup (at Bellerive, Tasmania, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ANqK_Bo_n/?igshid=stm4m0x6g4j0

Photograph: The Life of a Stranger ______________________________________ If I had been born to great wealth, how would I look at the world? I have never held a job with leave entitlements, I can’t afford to retire, so my life must be as strange to them as theirs is to mine. ______________________________________ #cc19 #creativechallenge #makingart #photography #snob #wagegap (at Bellerive, Tasmania, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B47I8L3hGfa/?igshid=1q8cyajuw5o5c

Sculpture: view from a window ______________________________________ A few years back I did a lot of work on reframing, now I even have my very own window for the purpose 😉 ______________________________________ #cc19 #creativechallenge #makingart #sculpture #travel #maps #windows (at Bellerive, Tasmania, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B44xKYRhKqN/?igshid=168g9n3xu1ozk
