The Pinacoteca
THE PINACOTECA is a shed, a warehouse, a gallery and a plaza. It’s private and public, open and closed. Mostly though, it’s my way of developing my writing and communication skills through recording my thoughts, observations, ideas and musings on art and design, mostly in Melbourne where I live with my family. It’s not as ordered as perhaps it should be; nor does it focus on any one particular style, school or movement in art, art criticism or practice. The measures for success will be how well it and I communicate my passion for all things creative and whether it helps others to develop their artistic understanding, interests and passions, too.

PS. Hi John … I forgot to also mention in my previous comment that I actually know you (well kind of – I knew you a while ago … back in my old DP days)!! Small world.
Gosh, isn’t it funny all the things you don’t get to talk to colleagues about, around the water cooler … because we only ever catch such tiny glimpses of who people are and what they’re into, beyond the 9 to 5 day !!!!
So yeah, I suppose that’s another reason to I look forward to reading your future posts 🙂
