LIVING & LEARNING NILLUMBIK
Thursday 26 November – Monday 14 December
Jole Di Florio’s practice over the last ten years takes you on
a fascinating journey, from her early drawings inspired by
the etching process to current figurative works that combine
surrealist imagery with haunting effect.
This exhibition showcases Junko Azukawa’s ink paintings
where she uses her brush in a lyrical fashion to explore the
beauty of nature. The works are both meditative and powerful.
Living & Learning Nillumbik tutors and participants celebrate
the end of the year with a major showcase of art and craft
works created throughout 2015. Be inspired by the creativity
on display and vote for the People’s Choice Award.
