Work by Beth-Emily Gregory and
Alecia Lanzlinger-Groom
Exhibiting at Cube Gallery Salamanca
08/02/11 – 28/02/11
- New work -
I’ve been working on the illustrations above for a little while now. There for a small exhibition in Salamanca, Hobart that I’m organising with my business partner from Floatingworld – Alecia.
Our inspiration has come from the landscape and geometric shapes and organic forms found in nature.
My pieces are a limited edition triptych set – individual size is 210 x 594 mm and the three together is 630 x 594 mm
I’ll be selling them as a set or individually. I’ll post when they are on my etsy stall. :)
I hope everyone is well and that all are safe and sound in the QLD area -
been thinking of you over the last couple of days and my friends in the areas.
For those that have been following the art4heart project we managed to raise a total of $5305.00 – which is truly amazing.
I’ll be doing a write up about the project on the art4heart blog very soon. I’ll keep you posted on that too.
Anyone been to New Zealand lately? and know of any cool touristy things to do there – Oh Lord of the Rings/Hobbit huts, that could be fun.

Since Lot No.1 and Lot No.2 were so successful, we have decided to put together a finale – ‘Lot No.3′
Many amazing artists have again generously donated artworks for the Art4Heart auction, bundles of amazing art & artists – Please support the Queensland Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal by bidding on your favourite artwork.
Well I’ve been a busy bee with not much sleep happening here.
I mostly blame the silly goat that I can hear on the hills in the morning. He’s pretty noisy and very persistant with his goaty babbles so it’s hard to get any sleep around these hills. I hope someone throws him a sock to munch on soon as it’s getting a little overbearing.
I’ll even sacrifice a sock just to keep him quite.
- LOT 2 Bidding is OPEN -
You’ll all be please to know we’ve opened LOT 2 of the art4heart art auction.
We have some more wonderful art and artists participating in our auction.
For those that don’t know – we have created an art auction to raise some much needed money for those who have been affected by the Queensland floods.
100% of all proceeds raised will go directly to the Queensland Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal.
Please visit www.art4heart.com.au if you’d like to bid on some rad arty things.
GOOD LUCK!
We managed to raise $2440.00 with LOT 1 WOW – It’s quite amazing.
A BIG BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE INVOLVED.
ARTISTS, BIDDERS and PROMOTERS for making this possible.
P.S Dear Goat – owner your goat makes a whole lot of goaty sounds in the morning. Please feed him some sock as I hear they like socks and this might keep him quite. That is all. x
We’ll this was the exciting news I had to share with you yesterday.

At the moment I have no laptop, it decided to die a couple of weeks ago so I haven’t had many opportunities to update my blog in my spare time. Things around here have been quite hectic too. Client work is steaming ahead, so I’ve had to concentrate on their projects and pick mine up in between.
At the moment I’m organising my bits and bobs for the November Finders Keepers markets in Brissy. I’ll make sure to post some pics of the creations. The above image is a piece I recently finished (recently I mean about 20mins ago) in time to sell at the markets.
I’ll be selling other things too:
Prints – Open and limited editions.
Cards – Packs and individual ones.
Necklaces – This is a little surprise but they are sure to have my illos on them. :)
I’m sharing a stall with the lovely Cat-Rabbit, who makes awesome plushies all by hand, might I add. We have been deliberating on how to set-up our stall, as we won’t be able to take many big heavy items due to luggage restrictions. Where both traveling from Tassie soooooo, lots of felt is my solution to decorating my stall. It’s squishy soft and light, which also translates into – fitting nicely into a suitcase.
I little while ago I entered the SOYA – Qantas Spirit Youth Awards for 2010 and when I saw that Deanne Cheuk was the mentor I was thrilled. I remember gushing over her designs and illustrations back in Art school.
As most of you know I’m a practicing graphic designer and illustrator based in Tasmania. I recently established my very own design studio Floatingworld with my two colleagues Alecia and Tom it’s been a rollercoaster – there’s been happy tears and just plain old tears -because sometimes it’s just tough running your own business. Mentor-ship with Deanne would be invaluable, not only to my creative illustration practice Beth-Emily but my design practices as well. Floatingworld is a relatively new studio and quite isolated from the rest of the nation here in Tasmania. Any professional and creative advise and/or support that I could attain would be really beneficial. Especially from someone that has such a presence in visual communication like Deanne.
I’m really EXCITED as I’m one of the top 3 finalists for the visual communications category. YAY! The other entrants are Motherbird and Maricormaricar both design studios have an individual flare in their own right. So it’s just us three now… until they announce the winners of each category on the 11th of November at the awards night.
This year SOYA is allowing a peoples choice awards so you can vote for the one you think is the most deserving to receive $2,000. I’d be awesome if you could spare sometime to vote for me but if you think another entrant is more deserving then vote for them. : )
While I’ve been away from the studio this week Tom & Alecia have been busy bees! Above it what they created.
Please vote for our design, it’s for a great cause – Prevention and awareness to STI’s.
For all you kids and kittens who don’t know, Floatingworld is my very own design studio. We established the business more than a year ago in Hobart, Tasmania. I have two very lovely partners that I share my treats with – Oh – and the business. They are both very talented individuals and I couldn’t imagine going into business with anyone else. We are all extremely excited to have launched our inaugural folio website and would like to share our work with you. Please have a look and tell us what you think. : )
