Artist of the month at Warrnambool Art Gallery

By invitation, my work is displayed in the front foyer of the Warrnambool Art Gallery. The Warrnambool Art Gallery has asked me to be their Artist of the Month for June 2019. I am exhibiting a selection of bird prints; from black & white, hand coloured to full colour linocuts.

My work is intended to inspire a LOVE of NATURE, a closer relationship with the natural environment and to create instinctive behaviors that will sustain a healthy world.

My work reflects on environmental concerns and addresses our relationship to the natural world – as we perceive it and interact with it. We have become increasingly disconnected from nature. We have come to see our planet as a mine to extract the resources we need to maintain our extravagant lifestyles, and as a dumping station for our toxic waste products.

I believe that admiration for nature is inherent in all of us, but tends to get subdued for a majority of our planet’s population who live busy consumer-oriented lifestyles. I am trying to reach out and direct public attention in an inspirational non-intrusive way.
