Margaret River Library is hosting a community celebration to recognise the work of visual artist Dr Michael Wise and current Cocoon Gallery exhibitor and conceptual artist Natalia Ford.
The event, scheduled for 6pm to 7.30pm on Thursday 28 November 2019, will include a hosted interactive discussion about the individual approaches the artists took to achieve their works, and the many aspects of art.
Dr Michael Wise’s said his research and art practice is a convergence of the creative processes of video, painting, photography and sculpture.
“Every artist lived experiences contribute to their art practice,” he said.
“My works responds to my life experiences at the beach and the dangers which are embedded in its image of scenic beauty.”
Ms Ford said her discussion will be about the personal journey she took to achieve her displayed exhibition titled “The Through”.
“It’s an opportunity to get a deeper understanding of the life perspectives that I refer to for my art inspiration.”
“This eclectic event promises to be a treat for the arts community and the general public alike.”
