Wiggle wiggle wiggle
I always feel so awkward filming these little clips of me holding my work but they are so helpful to show the scale and framing style of my pieces.
These are some of the works in my current CORAL exhibition. Pretty much all of these pieces are sold now, but there are still a couple of good ones left. 😉
Head to the ‘CORAL exhibition’ link in my bio to learn more. The show is only on for a few more days. @milkfactorygallery

Last weekend to view my exhibition ‘When Birds Come to Play’ @milkfactorygallery in Bowral. Closes 30th November. It’s been such a wonderful experience having a solo show at Milk Factory and there is something pretty special seeing all your work hanging together. A little bit overwhelming. #bowral #australianbirds # colouredpencil #colouredpencilart

“Flowery Realm”
This beautiful piece of porcelain is from 1711 - 1799. It is a brush washer vessel and is decorated with a brilliant glaze finish which was applied meticulously and with great detail. Both the yellow ground section and the image panels are truly magnificent depicting rocks, peonies, and butterflies - earth, life, sky.
One of our male sparrows has taken a liking to the bowl.
Sparrow families are always welcome in our country garden where they stake out their territories close to the house and garden. The males seem to patrol a triangular area while singing their long and complicated songs from the highest vantage point. ML
“WHEN BIRDS COME TO PLAY” - Michaela Laurie’s gorgeous colour pencil/mixed media exhibition in the Pop-Up Gallery 2 closes November 30. Call in this weekend and enjoy these beautiful artworks and visit the web to see which works are still available for sale - link in bio 🦜 @milkfactorygallery #bowral #artgallery #artoftheday #popupgallery #birds #birdart #birdlovers #birds_adored #porcelain #porcelainart #sparrow #colourpencil #watercolour #mixedmedia #artlovers #artcollector #worksonpaper #visitbowral #daytrip #sydney #canberra #wollongong #southcoastnsw #destinationsouthernhighlands

Coming to the Pop-Up Gallery 2 on December 8 - “Shorelines” is a “feel good” exhibition of thirty-five salty seascapes in oils on canvas, by renowned artist Bruce Chanter. For many of us, escaping to the coast for a break is a happy, healthy and rejuvenating experience. The inspiration for these new works of our eastern shorelines, comes from this same feeling of joy Bruce experiences when “down by the seaside”. Capturing the air, the light and gorgeous colours from peaceful, sunny beaches to energetic seas and surf, Bruce has splendidly showcased in the paintings, the many elements and changing moods of the coastal environment at different times of day.
DM us for a preview catalogue and call in from December8 to view this special collection of the Australian coastline - link in bio @milkfactorygallery #bowral #artgallery #popupgallery #exhibition #soloexhibition #seascapepainting #seascape #seascape_lovers #oceanlife #oceanlover #artlovers #artcollectors #beachday #beachvibes #beachlovers #holidayvibes #summervibes #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #australianartist #australiancoast #visitbowral #daytrip #sydney #canberra #wollongong #southcoastnsw #destinationsouthernhighlands

The New Neighbours is the largest artwork I have made to date and it’s one that is very close to my heart. It was created in 2017 for the prestigious ‘Tamworth Textile Triennial’. It has travelled the country and is currently graces the walls of the @milkfactorygallery as a part of my CORAL exhibition.
This piece is special because it is extra sculptural and an unframed artwork. Instead of my regular shadow mounting and shadow box framing style (which only allows for embroideries a few centimetres deep), the 400+ embroideries in this arrangement are mounted directly onto a large circular board. The board is wall hangable via a French cleat system and it’s surprisingly easy to hang.
135cm diameter.
Embroidery thread and pins on board.

“A Sanguine Point of View”
This is a lovely glass bottle with a design of peaches and topped with a gilt brass squirrel creature stopper.
This time the visiting bird is a Yellow Faced Honey Eater.
These birds visit the wild garden in summer before Christmas. They enjoy looking around the apricot tree and singing to each other from the long bendy branches of the forsythia in the afternoon sun while looking out apparently enjoying the view”.
WHEN BIRDS COME TO PLAY exhibition by Michaela Laurie continues in the Pop-Up Gallery 2 through to the end of November. A superb collection of antique/vintage china pots, bowls, snuff bottles coupled with delightful Australian birds and delicately drawn with colour pencil and a mix of watercolour that creates a unique artwork.
