This time of year looks different for everyone. For some, Christmas means spending time with family. For others it might mean running from one obligation to another, trying to hit as many celebrations in one day as possible. Christmas may mean spending time with friends, heading to church, eating far too much or it might just be another public holiday. We asked a few of our Contributors what the holiday season means to them. Emma Batchelor For me Christmas time is family time. We have lunch with my Nanny and Poppy who live just next door and… Continue Reading
Amongst the fifty-one faces portrayed in this years crop of paintings was that of Canberra born dancer and choreographer, James Batchelor, painted by Melbourne artist Marcus Wills.
