This collection of reverse glass & gold gilded paintings are inspired by the physical architecture of the housing estates and the emotional architecture of family life within these housing estates.

Exhibiting in her own art gallery co-founded with her husband Nick D’Amico, set in the inner city of Melbourne.

Melbourne / Collingwood is home to several large social housing blocks which feature in this exhibition, alongside East London housing blocks which were also very much part of Ray Monday’s daily life when I lived in East London.

“Nothing Is Too Good For Ordinary People’

Finally, after immigrating to Australia 12 weeks before the pandemic hit town, experiencing an extended year and a half of waiting for a ‘legal’ working visa, 6 business closures, home schooling three children and ultimately juggling a million things whilst keeping the new business afloat during and after the pandemic, the right moment has come to showcase my new painting work in Melbourne / Narrm now the city I live in and am beginning to understand in my own way, living behind the ‘scenes’.

Our art gallery is now in stage II of it’s journey and can safely hold more serious original work in it’s new front exhibition room.

It has been an interesting time as a multidisciplinary artist where I have chosen to remain very quiet, serve the artists who come into our gallery and take my time to focus on this new body of work, hone in my gilding and glass art skills and touching upon some social issues which are dear to my heart.
