Those of you in Naarm will be noticing the drizzling weather and the creeping early dusk, a shift that welcomes us into Kulin Nation's Luk Season.

Mist-laden days remind me of the luminous qualities of Modernist Melbourne artist Clarice Beckett's (1887–1935) landscape paintings. Ceramicist, gallerist, and Beckett enthusiast Kirsten Perry has curated an invitational exhibition, Dear Clarice, in her ever-inspiring shopfront gallery, O.K. Violet, in inner-suburban Brunswick East.

I am delighted to join a group of equally passionate artists in paying homage to Clarice's painterly capturing of quiet, fleeting moments, where the absence of people calls attention to a dreamy, atmospheric experience of the commonplaces experienced in the neighbourhood we inhabit.

Do please join us for the opening from 4–6pm on Saturday 7 March. I will also be at O.K. Violet from 4–6pm on Saturday 14 March and the final Saturday, 21 March.
