With work hibernating a little while we take care of COVID-19 I’ve found time for some painting projects around the house. What is it about painting projects that seem to multiply? 🤷🏽♀️ #paintingmeditation
A Sunday lunchtime next to a roaring fire watching a doco about the incredible Dorothea Lange. 5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 #dorothealange #inspirations #photography #doconerd

The frogs are mighty noisey this morning. One of the great benefits of having a little more time- the ability to stop and listen. #bepresent #justwalkinthedog #weekendsoff #socialdistancing #noticing
Today’s mission: bathroom painting. #weekendisolationactivities
Feeling lucky to be living in this island right now, connecting with simple things and having the time to breathe in a moment. ‘The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera.’

And so we find ourselves waiting. Waiting for work, waiting for certainty, waiting for things to go back to being normal. All the while digesting the sense that things will never be normal again. #covid19 #waiting #hibernation #rainonthetinroof #writingweather #moliere
Rainy morning working in the office, listening to the tanks fill up. It ain't a bad way to spend a morning in isolation. #workfromhome #homeoffice #isolation #consultantlife
When people feel under threat sometimes they lash out in a kind of defensive manoeuvre. To hurt before being hurt. Art and storytelling builds empathy, fires imaginations, and helps us to understand what it is like to walk in another's shoes. It is more important than ever to get through this place we find ourselves in. #creativitymatters #imagination #storytelling #artmatters #arthappenshere
We’ve had this little cheeky fellow making his home on the property. It strikes me that his message is pretty clear. Hunker down. #stayathome #isolation #hibernation
Now is a good time for seeding ideas with collaborators, for planting new ideas and discovering potential partnerships with screen professionals to see what can be achieved when brilliant creative minds come together. #collaboration #potential #thinkingbeyond #screenculture #thearts #film
Another day, another new friend made. #horseaunty
I feel my stomach drop when I hear the cruel statements that fear reveals. The tribalism of protection and the temptation to blame a race for the predicament we're in misses an opportunity to see the world as a global community fighting the same foe. Let's not let this chaos allow the the darker parts of tribalism to bubble to the surface #staykind
Morning. Note to self: None of us have to be wonder woman today. #newrythms #bekindtoyourself #dowhatyoucan #itsanewday #onefootinfrontoftheother
The more I connect with people the more I hear that the wave of emotions they're surfing are akin to grief. A sadness for the freedoms that have been lost, the grandchildren they can't hug and the dreams that have been put on hold. I must admit to having felt the emotions of anger and hopelessness on the road to accepting the inevitable of this brutal and sudden change. I've ridden these waves before. It's a vulnerable, kinda anchorless feeling. But if you can get to a place of acceptance and transformation there might be something good in this for us. All in good time. Hold fast. So to this will pass. #covid19 #grief #holdfast #supporteachother #timeslowingdown #7stagesofgrief
We are lucky to be living in isolation in such a beautiful place. Sometimes if you get up early when no one else is about you’re rewarded with a sight so beautiful it makes your heart soar. I hope there’s some magic in your day too! #gratitude #thesmallthings #bullarab #bullarabsofinstagram #adoptdontshop #tullytheofficedog
Morning. Early risers are often rewarded. #isolation
