Yaama! Hello! My name is Wendy Rix and I am a contemporary visual artist living in Queensland, Australia. My family are from Goodooga, New South Wales, and I am descendant of the Yuwaalaraay people of that area. I love going home to visit the family, even though its hot and dry!

2019 HEADS UP!​

Hi! Canberra x 2 check! Perth check! Italy check! Uluru check!!!
Busy busy as a busy thing, with lots of commissions that I said to people I would do later in the year... well later turned up and I was under the pump! One more large one to go and my major commissions for 2019 are completed! 
 I currently have work hanging in the The "outside In" exhibition at St Vincent's Private Hospital, Brisbane - so if you would like to see "How Great thou Art" - head to the ground floor of the hospital at Kangaroo Point.  

Classroom Prayer cloths are expanding, and I now have 2 designs in green and purple, plus a red, white/gold, silver/grey and a blue. The new manufacturing team are continuing with the lovely work of my original seamstress, and I am so glad I am getting my cloths designed here (well wherever I am!)... printed here and made here in Brisbane. I realise this means they are more expensive, but I just didn't have the heart to get Indigenous fabric printed and sewn overseas - I want to support local and I hope you understand. The last of the sets have been posted for 2019, but more cloths will be back in the new year! 

For those signing up to RECEIVE RAMBLINGS - I attempted an email newsletter which failed miserably... I am now fluffing around with MAILCHIMP so I can do newsletters properly!! Bear with the non-IT person lol.... update - I still haven't done this!  - and I still haven't!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have decided I will no longer be doing jersey/clothing designs for one off projects. (Licensing projects excluded). It is really time consuming and of no real benefit to me (sorry!). However if I have already said yes, then I will do your project of course! I will also still do them if they are of special meaning to me. 

ALSO!!!! Bookings are well under way for 2020 - I have already confirmed a trip to Canberra for Feb/March, and again in May! I am looking into a local exhibition in April  so that means I am already starting to book out until end of May!  Thats pretty cool. I have also been selected to exhibit at ST Vincent's Northside from Feb 2020 as a part of their Outside In exhibition, and my new series will be called "All creatures great and small". 
 Please contact me though with any questions, as sometimes it pays to think outside the box and I never say never :-) 
​Thank you! xx
