Anderson.jpg

Friday 17 July 3:00pm

with Kerrily Anderson

Award-winning artist Kirrily Anderson creates nature inspired work with a nostalgic bent.

Influenced by the intricacies of the natural environment, her work on paper and her murals embrace tiny details that call the viewer to slow down and see the often unseen.

Kirrily has curated and co-curated a number of exhibitions and street art-based events. In 2017 she moved to Chiltern. 

 

Since then Kirrily’s work has focussed strongly on public art, installing murals for a number of local councils, schools, festivals and businesses. In December 2021 she held a successful exhibition at the Murray Art Museum Albury Museum (MAMA).

Friday 4 September 3.00pm

with Dianne Mangan

Dianne Mangan is a respected Australian ceramic artist living in Beechworth. Her work reflects a refined and unique sensibility demonstrated in one-off contemporary sculptural works, pot forms and functional ceramic items. Utilising porcelain clays, stoneware and other clays (occasionally terracotta) she employs wheel-throwing, coil-building, and sculptural processes in developing works that feature expression, form and surface. 

 

Dianne has exhibited her ceramic works extensively, and more recently in solo (2019) and group exhibitions. Her work is included in the permanent collections of Parliament House Canberra; the Powerhouse Museum Sydney; Queen Victoria Museum & Art Gallery, Launceston; and in Australia and overseas.
