Textural Presence

An Exhibition & Art Workshop 30th July 2023

Join Northern Beaches artists Bernadette Meyers & Joanna Greenwood for Textural Presence: a collaborative exhibition showcasing their latest work exploring Australian native flora, texture and mark-making.

This exhibition includes photography, pastel, charcoal, oil & watercolour artworks in a combination of abstract and representational styles. Joanna’s work expresses the vibrancy and energy of the Australian bush, while Bernadette’s evokes the serenity and peace that comes from being in nature.

During the workshop participants will create still-life works featuring banksias, using found objects from the local environment as art-tools. The workshop explores how different methods of mark-making can enhance elements including texture, meaning and symbolism in your work.

At the end of the workshop, not only will you have developed a new artistic skillset, you will also go home with three finished artworks, all created using the artistic tools you made during the workshop.

Lakeview Hall - Tramshed Arts and Community Centre, Narrabeen NSW

The exhibition is open 10am until 4pm and entry is free. Workshop 10am - 12pm | $110pp, all materials supplied.
