I've been painting, bold and expressive with lots of colour and form!

Figurative Expressions

  • Read more about Figurative Expressions

Every week in the figurative class we spend approximately 4-5 hours with a model sometimes nude, where the class engage, capture, observe & express the experience they partake in through sketching, painting & sculpting. It's quite a magical process with its vulnerabilities, yet the connections & discoveries made are extremely powerful & inspiring.

Ferns

  • Read more about Ferns

My art comes from a deep appreciation of plants and has been an essential part of my healing after multiple bereavements over the past two years. I work in cyanotype and I use botanicals as my subjects. I am exploring ferns in this show because I find these ubiquitous and majestic plants beautiful, surprising and fascinating.

The blend of cyanotype and ferns is soothing and exciting.

Happiness is a butterfly

Teissi is an artist & art professor from Argentina.

This exhibition was created by her after she spent three years in quarantine due to COVID-19 in Argentina. There she learned that during introspection and darkness a moment occurs inside oneself where we can transform and discover a power that we didn’t know we had. The darkest moments will disappear and the moments of happiness will appear, as sporadic and spontaneous as the life of a butterfly.
