South West Printmakers exhibition – Time

In June and July this year I exhibitied with the South West Prinmakers at the F Project Gallery in Warrnambool. The exhibition was on the theme “Time”. I had two works in it and they both sold. Very exciting.

My works were about the mouth of the Hopkins River in Warrnambool. I have for a long time enjoyed walking at the Mouth of the Hopkins River. It is calming, refreshing and great exercise. The mouth of the river, the final point of a rivers’ journey, where the calm waters of the river merge with the tumultuous sea. Here I have enjoyed watching the whales, the birds and the animals congregate and the eels migrate. I am so lucky to live so close.

I am excited to be part of a printmaking group show at the Warrnambool Art Gallery. I get to exhibit with printmakers that I studied while getting my Diploma of Visual Arts – Angela Cavalieri, Heather Shimmen, Rona  Green and Marco Luccio. Below is my print. It is of the wildlife you can see at the Warrnambool Breakwater and is called ‘Coast Guard’. This print is a nod to the Coast Guard boat that is moored in the background, but also the behavior of the Seal who has a commanding presence and keeps an eye on all the comings and goings at the breakwater.
