Cal Wilson sadly missed an Australian showbiz wedding which took place in the final days of her cancer battle.
But her presence at the marriage of Melbourne comedians Rhys Nicholson and Kyran Wheatley was felt by way of a touching gift she made the couple before herWilson had spent four weeks at Sydney’s Prince Alfred Hospital after presenting with lower back pain.
Her work with headdresses was immortalised in a painting by Cairns artist Andrea Huelin called ‘Clown Jewels’, which won the packing room prize in the Archibald Prize for portraiture, in April 2023. “Cal’s Instagram page revealed the brilliant headpieces that she made from plastic toys and shiny ornaments during the long Melbourne lockdowns. Cal brought her creativity and imagination to the sitting, as well as a suitcase full of headpieces and outfits,” Huelin said.
“I was always relieved to see Cal. Anywhere. At very good gigs, very s**t gigs, dinners, parties. Spaces had a particular vibe when she was around.
