Impressions - In Line and Colour

Next date: Friday, 09 May 2025 | 10:00 AM to 04:00 PM

Christine discovered a love for drawing figures at 16 and studying A level art at school. This passion stayed with her and she takes every opportunity to pursue life drawing, mostly rendering the figure in watercolour washes. Her work was exhibited in a London based gallery and in Stow-on the-Wold where Christine grew up. Christine was actively involved with regional art in England.

Soon after her move to Australia, Christine joined Woodend Art Group (WAG) which proved a golden opportunity to meet local artists, make good friends and also to participate in various workshops that WAG offered at that time, including pleine-aire excursions and camps.

For this exhibition Christine has two themes - her garden and life drawing.

Christine works freely and spontaneously to capture the essence of her chosen subject. She combines her free-style monochrome drawings with coloured paintings, and introduces a variety of mixed media: paint, graphite, chalk, pastel, ink and collage to help her achieve varied mark making while often using her beautiful garden plants as a source of inspiration.

Impressions in line and colour reveals how Christine pushes boundaries and is not afraid to convey to the viewer a sense of the energy ever present in her work. Impressions is on display at The Gallery, 684 Mt. Macedon Road, Mt. Macedon from Tuesday 6 May to Sunday 1 June. The exhibition opening is on Sunday 11 May at 2pm to 4pm.

The Gallery is open Friday to Tuesday, 10am to 4pm and is situated next to The Trading Post, Mount Macedon.
