Torri Dixon-Whittle is one of those people who are so fab and so inspiring, you nearly have to lie down to absorb their fabness. She is the wife/muse of Australian artist David Bromley, whose paintings you can see above. I do love his nostalgic, slightly moody children.
Tori is also an artist - you can find out more about her from this interview at The Daily Imprint Blog, which if you're not following - then JUST DO IT! Nearly every day a lovely inspiring, fab arty person is interviewed by Natalie Walton. She has a varied bunch of totally cool and interesting people from Nikki Gemmell to India Hicks to Clare Press. And she has just started another Blog, Frontliners, which I love (as I'm a long-time Selby fan). Frontliners is a house Blog which features the houses of totally fab and cool-as-cats folk without their homes being too stylized for the shoot.
Thanks for popping in. xx

" The strike of matches, a prolonged and piercing scream. The smell of turps." - already I'm drawn in! May the mountains work their wonders.
ReplyDeleteOkay! Will check out Daily imprint! :) Love how you describe things coming to you little by little - have you seen the talk on Ted.com by Elizabeth Gilbert? If you haven't, do check it out - very interesting in terms of muses and creativity! xxx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to be in your writing. I love it when characters are just starting to saunter onto the page. Oh, and everyone should have a Bromley! Enjoy the mountains, TP! jx
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a lovely laid-back time allowing your muse to take you by the hand through the mountains!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to 'Daily Imprint' looks like it'll be interesting, I've bookmarked.
there was a feature in one of the weekend papers on the bromleys' weekender in daylesford. they certainly do have a flair for living and joie de vivre. they tie in with your 40's artist theme too as they live in albert tucker's old house (though i believe it's currently on the market). hope your research trip is fruitful. jx
ReplyDeleteSeems like you are having a marvellous and inspiring time. Enjoy look forward to hearing more on your return.
