It has been a while since I have logged onto my site. Have been so busy. Well I am proud to announce I have finished my studies, and received my degree. I have a degree in a Bachelor of Australian Indigenous Contemporary Art from Griffith University. My family came to see me receive my award on the 19th December 2009. What a fantastic moment it was.
Since Christmas I have been concentrating on getting my new web site up and running. Please visit it and email me feedback on the site if you enjoy wandering around reading the articles, and viewing my artworks. I have also been doing a lot of workshops with High Schools, Primary Schools and the Local Libraries. I get a great deal of pleasure sitting with Indigenous and Non Indigenous people just wanting to paint and express their inner creativity.
One of the best things I have done this year, is take a holiday with my lovely wife Wendy. We went to Alice Springs and visited Ayres Rock, walked around the rock and took in the wonderful spiritual experience.
We started off and went to Roma, Longreach, Mt Isa, across to Tennant Creek, Down to Alice Springs, Ayres Rock, down to Coober Pedy, Port Agusta, across to Broken Hill, up to Moree, Goondawindi and home. What a trip, 7,000 klms of beautitful outback Australia. After all the rain we have had the red centre had sprung to life, and was green and red. We had the pleasure of seeing the Todd River run. For those of you that do not know, the Todd River at Alice Springs is an upside down river. The sand is on the top and the water underneath. Well the water was running over the sand - this is quite unusual, and only happens after a lot of rain.
I presented the Central Land Council with two prints of paintings I have done through consultation with the Land Council. Visit my gallery to see 'Initiation Rites" and 'Hands Off" these are the two paintings I gave prints to them. How good is that, Lloyd Hornsby Gawura has two prints in Alice Springs.
I am getting geared up to do sales in merchandise and prints. I am hoping to do a run of the local festivals in Queensland and will be selling prints and t shirts, along with painted timber crafted bowls and plates. I have a range of stickers and badges also. If you want to buy direct - go to my web site and email me with what you want.
At the end of April I am off to Armidale, I have been offered to exhibit in a 'Five Masters' exhibition - this is a great honour. Life is good. Will talk again soon. Lloyd
