FOUNDart series

Welcome, art finders and friends! My creative journey began over at Gina's Eye , you might remember that this is where the very first seeds of the FOUNDart series were planted. As the project grew and more of you began finding the artwork, I realized this series truly deserved a dedicated space of its own—a place where finders can easily connect, share, and comment. I am about to pack my bags and head off on an exciting new adventure to Spain soon! To mark this fresh chapter, I am officially refreshing this blog (foundart series) as the main hub for all things FOUNDart. Thank you so much for following along, hunting for art, and being part of this journey. Stay tuned—Spain is calling, and new art will be waiting to be found very soon! Before the new Spanish pieces start rolling in, you can take a look back at where it all began. See the wonderful comments that came in from people who found art from the foundart series in Switzerland, Junction Festival Launceston and other. I’ve ...

Wishing you each and your families a Happy Easter whichever way you celebrate. I am taking this opportunity to have a little giveaway. I returned with 3 of the foundart Tokyo series in my handbag. One is promised to Teri so there are two to giveaway.  Tell me in 10 words or less what art, doing it, living with it, supporting it means to you. I will pick 2 to send one of the pieces each and a little something else.  Anywhere in the world. It ends in 10 days time when I will advise winners.  Two winners will receive by snail mail, one of the foundart pieces and a little something else that i will send with it.

FOUNDART SERIES This is now the blog for ALL my foundart series.  I have migrated all the previous blogs (3) created into this one place for all my foundart series. I will create little pointers and pages that may help to delineate one series from another and other types of sub-files.  Bringing it all together into one place online. It began with the idea of 'making' artworks whilst travelling which turned into making a heap of small artworks before leaving, 'losing' them on my travels and photographing them where they were placed. The back of each piece had a label that told the finder they had found an original piece of art and to log into the website to tell of their find.  The idea morphed into its own way of 'being' as time went on. I first started doing foundart in 2007 when I travelled via Melbourne & Hong Kong to visit my daughter in Zurich, Switzerland which also took us on a tangent to Umbria Italy. The blog was called 'From Tassi...
