Introducing the art and artists of Coochiemudlo

Winter Berries, watercolour and coloured pencil, 30 x 27 cm

Artist and writer, Ruth Tuxworth, moved to Coochiemudlo Island in appreciation of its mild climate, kindly community, ocean views and peaceful walks taken in serene natural settings.

Through her art practice, Ruth enjoys the opportunity to step away from the urgent daily hammerings of life to slide into the calm, reflective moment framed by the meditative process of painting and drawing.

Her quiet, detailed and meticulous artworks celebrate the physical and spiritual experience of natural beauty rendered through observational detail and delicate abstraction. 

Ruth’s work and cards can be viewed at the Curlew Gallery.

Built my first site in 2000 and steadily learned what it takes to make websites work. Dabbled in WordPress back then, still do. Since building my first Squarespace site in 2016, I’ve been impressed with the relatively streamlined approach to website design and development that Squarespace offers compared to WordPress. SEO was a major challenge from the start — I’ve spent a lot of time keeping up with what’s required to get sites working, ranking well on a SERP. I have confidence with what Squarespace offers for SEO.

Having worked for more than 10 years in the web team of an inland, regional university in Australia and dealing with frustrations that come with working for a large corporate enterprise, the idea of setting up my own web design business became my goal.

Set up my business in late 2017. Opted for a sea change, too: I now live on Coochiemudlo Island 45 minutes from Brisbane. Love working from home. Love working for small business clients. Still get casual work with the university.

Challenges? The main one is pricing my work for small businesses. Doing quality work, doing the research to be up to date in the industry, takes time; it’s hard to factor in this time to my pricing while being competitive in the market and affordable for many small businesses.
