SUMMARY:Exhibition Opening: ‘Fragments of Tranquility’ Lynley Jakowyna
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition runs: 5-16 June 2026\nOpening event: Friday 5 June\, 5.30pm-7.30pm \nLynley Jakowyna presents a collection of mosaic works depicting the Australian landscape. Experimenting with different techniques and materials\, Lynley is constantly challenging herself to develop and extend her knowledge in order to create the desired effects of dimension\, realism\, reflectivity and perspective of a painterly style of mosaic making. \nInspiration for these pieces usually comes from different aspects of the natural beauty of our country or the desire to create an atmosphere or represent an emotion in the finished piece. The mosaics are the artist’s interpretation of these images with which she has a personal connection.

SUMMARY:Artist talk: Victor Ronan ‘50 Years of Deadly’
DESCRIPTION:Victor Ronan is the local feature artist for ‘50 years of Deadly’\, our 2026 NAIDOC Week Exhibition. Come to see him speak about this collection of beautiful paintings on Saturday 11 July. \nVictor started painting at VPCA’s Create Connect art workshops in 2021 before concentrating on developing his skills through more individually focused studies\, where Victor connected with the stories from his family. Victor’s technical approach references the work of local Noongar artists\, trained in Western styles of drawing and painting from the Carrolup School in the early part of the 20th century. Victor’s story echoes this year’s NAIDOC theme of determination and resilience\, studying and honouring his culture; continuing to develop a personal artistic voice. \n(Pictured: Victor Ronan ‘Outback Desert’)
