Emerging artist Rudy Selmes will display his collection 1+1 at the Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists from January 8th to February 27th.
Merging his love for art and skating, the 14-year old created art on skateboards.
He uses posca pens and spray paint as his medium of choice, but he also enjoys drawing, screen printing, photography and audio-visual editing.
Rudy’s skills have been highly commended by his art teachers in and out of school and his drawing was awarded the “Best Drawing in Show” at the Margaret River Agricultural Show in 2017.
The young artist continues learning about art and design with his mentor Stu McMillan, and hopes to build on his skills to make a living from design, art and skating.
1+1 will be officially launched on January 14th from 5:30 to 6:30pm.

The Margaret River Library is an easily accessible venue.
The libraries are cool places to hang out – figuratively AND literally!
Come in and browse the extensive range of resources available for you:
Do you have a friend or neighbour who hasn’t yet joined the library? Bring them in to cool down and show them what they’ve been missing! 🙂
We are sure you heard the saying “don’t judge a book by it’s cover.”
In many ways that is a good principle, but when comes to an actual book, that might be just what you need to find yourself something truly amazing.
So here is a selection of New Books with unusual, gorgeous and tantalizing covers.
Click on the image to reserve the item, or look for it in e-format on CloudLibrary, BorrowBox or OverDrive.
