We welcome Caitlyn Sully to the Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists

Visions: an exhibition by Caitlyn Sully

In this exhibition, Cait presents art that attempts to capture visions that come into her mind. They often represent something quite meaningful – an experience, realisation or a special place. Some are a more philosophical look at life, and an attempt to try and visualise her understanding of the complex world we live in.

Most of her art is made with oil and acrylic paints. She has always been drawn to things that are colourful which translates into her painting style. She feels that contrast, line work and repeating organic patterns are what she leans towards, rather than something that is precise. She tries to keep rules, but each painting has been created in a different way from the previous effort.

Call into the Margaret River Library to view Cait’s work or view more works on her Instagram page @psychovisionss.

The exhibition continues until the end of October.

No drawing experience is needed — it’s about storytelling, not perfect artwork.

The workshop runs from 4pm to 5.30pm on Tuesday 22 September and is open to ages 10+.

Places are very limited and bookings open 7 September at https://www.eventbrite.com.au/o/shire-of-augusta-margaret-river-libraries

What stories will you uncover with Trove?

Posted on

A family name in an old newspaper. A photograph of a familiar street. A map showing how your town has changed. Australia’s past is full of stories, and Trove can help you find them.

Trove is a free online research portal that brings together newspapers, photos, maps, books and other material from libraries, museums, galleries, archives and research collections across Australia. It is a valuable starting point for family history, local research, school projects or simply following your curiosity.

Maddi O’Neil from the National Library of Australia will present remotely on the library’s big screen, with participants attending in person.

No previous experience is needed – just bring your questions and a sense of curiosity.

Date: Wednesday 16 September 2026
