I resigned from the Public Galleries Association in early September and am currently enjoying a number of roles, including facilitation of a major touring exhibition of the work of George Baldessin.

I am also Co-ordinator of "shutterup", a multi-faceted education programme of the 2011 Ballarat International Foto Biennale.

Recently I assisted the Regional Sub-committee of CTIG (Cultural Tourism Industry Group) hold its first cultural tourism conference at Bendigo - "pARTnerships", and facilitated one of its "World Cafe" sessions.

As a Board member of AMAG (Arts Management Advisory Group) I am assisting a review of its major issues through consultation with a selection of stakeholders.

In my spare time I play recorders with "Measure 4 Measure", a Ballarat based quartet, and organise occasional concerts at the Buninyong Brewery - look it up on Facebook - website in design.
