Hi everyone,
As you will see in the link on the right of the page, I am organising an Art Retreat in Queensland, Australia in 2010. I just wanted to write about it to let everyone who reads this blog know all about it.

The retreat will have 3 teachers who will each teach the same one day class for 3 days running. One third of the students will be in each class so each student will participate in all classes. One of the classes will be a beading class which is fine for beginners onwards, another will be a full on, techniques filled class, involving a figure and the other class is yet to be determined.

We will  have one amazing teacher from USA, Anne Hesse. Annie has been teaching for many years and she is a very talented artist who has a natural flare for colour and texture and  she is also funny, caring and no nonsense. You can see her work at her website Anniedolls and to see what she will be teaching go to dyzee.com

The next teacher is the wonderful Pam Grose. I am sure you all know of her. Her reputation as being one of the most caring , hardworking and talented artists is very well known. Once again go to dyzee.com to see pictures of what she will be teaching.

The venue I have chosen is in Morayfield, which is near my home and about 1/2 hr drive from Brisbane airport going north. It has not only function rooms, but a couple bars for those of you who like a drink and a bistro for food. Nearby and within easy walking distance Take away places like KFC, McDonalds, Hungry Jacks and Sissler. The venue is also very close to a major shopping centre.

The price is not set yet but will be moderate as I am keen to make this event accessible to all. I am dreaming up exciting competitions, suprises and swaps and challenges that you can tale part in at the event. We will also have a teachers trading night, a students trading night and some other things that I cant talk about. Anyway it will be heaps of fun and I really look forward to meeting you there.:-)

Hi everyone,

Here is some more newer work.

For those of you looking for my coaching site, I have taken it down. I am not doing any coaching right now due to a very busy life and my focus on other things.

This blog will focus on any creative work I am doing. I may also write about other things that I think you may like as well. Because I havn’t been updating dyzee.com very often, I hope you will check in here as this will be the place that I check into.

As some of you will know I have been spending most of my time learning and putting my Internet Marketing skills to good use. I am working to make a passive income online. It requires long hours of work ( which I love) and a real dedication. I think the reason most people never have success at this is because they give up too soon. It takes time for sites to mature and for traffic to find you, but when it does , you finally get the rewards of having money in your accounts in the morning when you wake up.

The only Art work I am doing right now is a Round Robin with Pam Grose, Pearl Moon, Jill Maas, Carolyn Stephens, Lorraine Abenethy and Pania Molloy. I organized this round robin cause I thought it would be great to do a Visual Journal Challenge. How ever the work that is coming through is more a cross between an Altered Book and a Collage. Its still incredible though! The latest book I have received is Pam’s and this book is absolutely wonderful! The work in it is beautiful and breath taking.
