Upcoming Exhibitions
‘We were here’ Tegan Jenkins
Exhibition runs: 23 May – 11 June 2024
Closing Event: Friday 7 June, 6.00pm – 8.00pm
Weekend Gallery Hours: TBA
What is Community Art? What’s the role of an Arts Worker? How can we teach individuals and groups meaningful art practices? How do we inspire people who don’t identify as creative, to make things? Why is this important? Why does making art matter?
Tegan Jenkins, a Perth based multi-disciplinary artist and community arts worker will be undertaking a 3 week residency, involving community participation, to explore the creative exchange between artists and aspiring artists alike. Using instructional performance and guided art-making, Tegan aims to get to the heart of this ongoing, internal conversation, and bring it into the physical realm, into the light, to see if it’s as beautiful and chaotic as it feels.
‘We were here’ is a space to fill, by the end of the residency, we will have been here, and something will have taken place, something will be left behind…
Tegan is inviting the community to get involved – please contact Tegan if you would like to book in a session and participate in this project (tegan.lj@gmail.com).

‘Inside/Outside’ Helen Majewski
Exhibition runs: 4 August – 16 August 2023
Opening Event: Friday 4 August, 5:30pm – 7:30pm
Inside/Outside looks with curiosity at the world around us—at the stuff we keep, the stuff we throw away, and the stuff we are surrounded by. These paintings and drawings—still lifes and urban landscapes—remind us to pay attention to the forms and accidental compositions of familiar objects and mundane scenes. The still life paintings, with their intrusions of rubbish and recyclables like plastic bags, hint at the tradition of memento mori, reminding us of our mortality. Inside/Outside invites the viewer to pause and notice the strange beauty of our everyday world.

‘Back Home’ Richie Jasper
Exhibition runs: 24 March – 12 April 2023
This body of work reflects on Richie’s childhood memories of “back home on the farm”.
Richie finds his style somewhere between the real and the unreal, a folk art feel mixed with memory driven imaginations. A tractor working the field shares the canvas with surreal creatures of the sky and underworld, allowing the viewer to find their own meaning amongst the colourful chaos.
Richie’s paintings are created with layers of acrylic paint, charcoal, chalk pastels, oil pastels and posca pen. Often each layer of paint conveys a different layer of memory associated with the scene, communicating the repetitive nature of farming seen differently through the seasons but also as one grows older and nostalgia takes hold.
This exhibition follows a massive loss of works in a studio fire, so there is a sense of grief and letting go embedded in these new works.

YODysses 2023—The Art of Living Well with Young Onset Dementia
Exhibition runs: 3 March – 22 March 2023
An exhibition of creativity, self-discovery and identity, while navigating the journey of Young Onset Dementia.
Linda Gordon (Feature artist)
Linda grew up in York, England and lived above the family’s art shop which may have been the birth of her creative and artistic talents. Upon immigrating to Australia, Linda threw her creativity into fashion and costume design. After 20 years of experience working in the Perth fashion industry and mid-way through her Diploma of Live Production and Technical Services (Costume), Linda was diagnosed with young onset dementia. Although her ability to design and create fashion faded, her creativity did not. She returned to painting and other forms of visual arts as it provided a valuable resource to express her emotions that she was otherwise struggling to release.
With the support of her family, Linda presents this exhibition to raise awareness of young onset dementia and to illustrate that it is still possible to live a full life after a diagnosis of dementia.
Keith Bleach (Supporting artist)
Keith [Artist/Turner] has always had a passion for anything made with wood. As a youngster at school, he learned many basic woodworking techniques which he was then able to use in adulthood with building and repairs around the home in his free time.
In his early fifties he took up woodturning but didn’t have the time to perfect his skills while also running his own very successful business. Retirement came early when symptoms of dementia at 62 began to severely impact his work. He enjoys his time working in his well-equipped home workshop, producing an abundance of varied wooden articles.
While some of his skills are not what they used to be as the symptoms of dementia take hold, he frequently becomes frustrated as things don’t turn out as well as he would wish. However with the help and support from a small group of dedicated friends and family, he continues to turn out some pretty amazing pieces.
He is a popular demonstrator at his local woodturning club, and is passionate sharing his skills with anyone who asks.

Over the holiday period, there will be various activities that allow each person to explore ways of articulating their view of the world.
Those Tarps project has invited young members of our community who have shared their uncertainty, and their anxiousness about a range of issues, to join an intimate group of participants and share their concerns in a non-judgmental environment. At the same time, their respective art works created during this program will underpin their voice, their narrative.
The blue tarpaulins will be the initial surfaces for our young artists to convey their sense of self.
‘Connections’ Adrianna Wasinska Fabian
Exhibition runs: 8 September – 27 September 2022
For thousands of years, people built mental and physical walls between humans and nature. Nature—especially horses—became the inspiration behind the artist’s practice in Europe and Australia.

An award-winning artist and a highly trained equestrian, Adrianna has been combining the two through her practice since 2017.
‘the ocean and me—finding serenity in uncertainty’ Robbie Roper
Exhibition runs: 18 August – 5 September 2022
I have a great love of the ocean and I have always wanted to get to know myself more deeply. Often difficult and confronting, my explorations with psychoanalytical psychotherapy can be compared to diving into the vital and rousing waves of the ocean. Connecting and overlapping, I link my inner world with this life-giving ocean swimming combined with collecting and the utilisation of seaweed to develop artworks. My mental, emotional and spiritual health is dependent on this creative flow between exploring and connecting with my vulnerable self. Using my vulnerable self, I can create; I stop, I print using the seaweed collected from the ocean, I listen, I look, I walk around, I wait and then continue to create. This is my creative way as an artist. I am continuing to evolve and find serenity in uncertainty.
(Pictured: ‘Calm Within the Chaotic Flow’ by Robbie Roper, inks and watercolour pencil on canvas, 2020)

‘Spirit in Situ’ Roz Notman
Exhibition runs: 27 May – 14 June 2022 (4:00 pm)
I am almost always drawn to the natural world of flora for inspiration, motivation, and connection.
The connection is spiritual; stops me in my tracks; I feel reverent within its presence and whatever.. (it)… is! …..has presence. i.e., the ancient energy of a huge Figtree growing on Magnetic Island, the stillness of a small patch of Donnybrook bush after a bushfire, the vibrant colours of the Bird of Paradise roosting in so many Aussie gardens and the wow of hidden architecture under the Dracaena foliage, growing in San Remo. I make a humble attempt to capture some of the spirit.
(Pictured: Shy Chardonnay by Roz Notman)
