SUMMARY:“Nature in Glass  and Paint.”
DESCRIPTION:“Nature in Glass  and Paint.”   \n Sandra Bain\, Tracy Andrews\, Anne Gellatly.               \n 22 August to 23 September 2025 \n Exhibition Opening             3-5pm         Sun 24th August \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n                     \nBolin Bolin Gallery at Bulleen Art  & Garden \n6 Manningham Rd W.\, Bulleen. 88503030. \nwww.gallery.baag.com.au \nThese three artists have all approached the theme of nature using their quite different\, but complementary art practices. \nSandra Bain \nSandra has been making art for many years\, developing and extending her skills and expression. She has mainly worked using mosaics\, but sometimes also in ceramics and stone. She  is well known to many Bulleen Art & Garden customers – through a number of gallery exhibitions; mosaic workshops she ran for a number of years and her wonderful mosaic bowls on sale here. \nFor this exhibition she has once again taken the opportunity to tryi something different. \n“My work reveals a connection to nature through my love of birds and the freedom they represent “ \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTracy Andrews \nExplore Nature’s Beauty in Glass \nGet ready for an art exhibition that brings the beauty of nature to life through stunning glass artistry. Local glass artist Tracy Andrews is showcasing a collection inspired by nature’s vibrant colours and delicate forms. \nTracy focuses on the charming Australian Robins and Wrens\, capturing their vivid feathers and graceful presence in glass. The pieces also highlight the enchanting beauty of flowers\, birds\, and leaf patterns\, revealing the artist’s passion for nature’s elegance. \nWith a love for ocean life—like corals\, sponges\, seaweeds\, and fish—Tracy’s artwork captures the complexity of marine ecosystems. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAnne Gellatly \nAs a retired Art & Ceramics teacher\, I have recently returned to painting. \nI grew up in the Wimmera and have travelled extensively overseas\, occasionally selling artworks for one additional income. \nWhile I have lived in Melbourne for decades\, I enjoy exploring plants and the natural environment in my artworks. \nMy most recent works were inspired by a drive past my childhood home near the Wimmera River\, and my local green space\, the Urban Reserve Forest in Stonnington\, where I do volunteer gardening. \nI love using colour and texture in my acrylic paintings and while they’re initially based on observation\, I allow my intuition to guide me aesthetically. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMore Images

SUMMARY:"Earth's Tapestry"
DESCRIPTION:Earth’s Tapestry\nEllen Jenkins\, Anna Madyarova\, Jennifer Sheridan\n4 July – 19 Aug 2025\nExhibition Opening: 3-5pm Sun 6 July\nEarth’s Tapestry is a selection of paintings\, ceramics and textiles which draw upon the artists observations and experiences from the natural world: earth\, land and sea. \n  \nJennifer Sheridan\nJen’s functional ceramics reference the geological contours of the Earth’s crust\, with muted shades of ash\, yellow and ochre predominant. Jen finds herself consistently drawn to working creatively with and from nature\, and over many years has tinkered with basketmaking\, spinning wool\, dyeing\, textiles\, weaving\, gardening\, and now ceramics. Her work is strongly informed by the scrubby bushland\, the skeletal soils\, and the sharp contours of the land on which she lives and works. The thin soil contours of clay\, mudstone and sandstone are represented in the carved and matt-glazed surfaces of Jen’s work.\n \n  \n\nEllen Jenkins\nEllen’s sculptures celebrate the natural environment\, people and animals\, each one showcasing unique forms and movements. Inspired by the rich textures colours and patterns of nature\, Ellen uses clay to create a tactile connection with the natural world. This collection invites you to reflect on the beauty of our world and the life that weaves us all together. \n  \n  \nAnna Madyarova\nAnna’s textile art offers a softer counterpoint to the solidity of the clay sculptures and ceramics. Having moved to Australia from Europe over 20 years ago\, Anna is still fascinated by how its natural environment is different in geology\, colour\, light and texture. Her colour pencil drawings on wooden panels and hand-made paper capture the light and shadow of the landscape and the expressive eyes of its inhabitants in intricate detail. Each piece weaves together the textures and colours of Australia’s unique natural world\, offering a multi-sensory journey through its boundless beauty. These tactile artworks bring a more delicate\, textured dimension to the exhibition. Earth’s Tapestry Exhibition \n\n \n  \nTogether\, the works of the three artists reflect the Earth’s incredibly rich tapestry\, where form certainly follows function\, and incredible beauty triumphs over it all. \n  \n  \nMore images \n   \n  \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:“Colour and Movement”\,
DESCRIPTION:A joint exhibition of paintings by Joan Denison & Kathy Allan\n25 April to 10 June 2025\nJOAN DENISON \nJoan has always felt she was destined to create great things.\nShe has fashion\, marketing and event management and Art training.\nCompleting many projects involving businesses and charities.\nShe has always loved art\, and has participated in art shows including\nMontsalvat\, Eltham Library\, Bridges and Earthbound Eltham\nJoan is an Art Tutor for Nillumbik U3A. \nDuring Covid lock downs Joan created the ISO CHOOKS to lift the spirits of the community.\nAlso a body of paintings of naughty ISO CHOOKS in Covid.\nCreating a large art display at Earthbound Eltham. \nJoan has lived in Eltham for 50 years and loves being part of the Art Community here. \nKATHY ALLAN \n \nI have always enjoyed creating art in one form or another.  Always up for the challenge of trying new styles and media\, from eco dyeing to pottery to watercolour.   For this exhibition I have used acrylics and pen work on canvas to create garden inspired works\, featuring Australian natives. \nMy paintings come from my imagination.  I work mainly with acrylics creating layers to invoke the illusion of weightlessness and movement.  These layers inform the direction my painting will take. \nI love doing the intricate pen work and watching the work evolve and always surprised by the finished artwork. \nThe introduction to painting began 3 years ago when I joined Nillumbik U3a. I have since become a tutor for beginner and intermediate art classes.  These classes allow me to share ideas and be inspired by others in a space that both nurtures and expands my knowledge of my art practice. \nI have exhibited and sold work at the following venues: Bridges Hurstbridge\, Eltham Art Show\, Streamline Publishing art space\, Eltham Leisure Centre \n  \n \n \n   \nJOAN DENISON

SUMMARY: Clay Colour Collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Eastern Studio Potters and Artists \nJenny Stokes\, Robyn Carter\, Ann Jackson\, Sue Trevillian \,Donna Parker\,  Jenny John \, Wendy Swan\,  Di Beveridge\,  Glenys McDonnel\, Jan O’Neil\, Carol Downey. \n 2nd to 26th November 2024 \nThis group has been exhibiting at Bulleen Art & Garden for many years\, and some of them also sell work here on a regular basis. \nThe exhibition includes original and creative works by artists with a wealth of experience. There is a range of ceramic works – from functional studio ceramics to ceramic sculpture\, as well as paintings an even some textiles this time. \n“Working with clay is essentially a solitary pursuit. For this reason Eastern Studio Potters exists to provide connections between different potters. Members share knowledge and experience\, push the boundaries and ‘fire one another up’. Meetings\, workshops and shared exhibitions encourage and inspire members. This group was formed to provide this mutual support and inspiration many years ago when a group of potters had finished their studies. This has since extended to include painters – both potters who paint and new members of the group.” \nYou can find out more about their previous exhibitions at Bulleen Art and Garden here   https://gallery.baag.com.au/portfolio/eastern-studio-potters-and-artists \nSome images of each artist’s work are included in images below. \nRobyn Crter\, Jenny John\, Carol Downey\, Donna Parker\, Jan O’Neill\, Jenny Stokes\, Sue Trevillian.

SUMMARY:Parallel
DESCRIPTION:Giuseppe Raneri and Pietro Giordano\n 28th September to 29th October \nExhibition Opening:5 to 7pm Thursday 3rd October 2024 \nThis new exhibition is a collaboration of two artists Giuseppe Raneri and Pietro Giordano who’ve known each other for a long time\, their friendship and appreciation for art has finally brought them together in this new exhibition. \nThe works include sculptures in wood and clay and paintings on board. This work is most suited to indoor use. \nGiuseppe Raneri\n \nI love art and its many manifestations that it can have\, it stimulates me\, spiritually\, intellectually and physically.\nMy approach to this new small body of work is striving towards simplicity\, and excited by its  immediacy.\nI’m enjoying working in different mediums\, drawing and sculpture both (clay and wood) and how the different materials can challenge the creative process. \nGiuseppe Raneri\, or Joe\, works at Bulleen Art & garden as his day job\, including working with art and pots\, but he is also a recognised original and gifted artist . \nHis main art focus has been in ceramic art and he had an exciting solo exhibition of his vibrant\, painted ceramics in the Bolin Bolin Gallery in 2023 https://gallery.baag.com.au/event/colours-of-the-sun-recent-works-by-giuseppe-raneri/ \nFor this year’s exhibition he has extended the range of his works with new media and new ideas. He has developed his interest in wood as a medium\, with sculptures in wood and painting on board\, as well as his ceramic sculpture. \nYou can also find out more about Joe at  https://gallery.baag.com.au/portfolio/giuseppe-raneri/ \n  \nPietro Giordano \nI have always been very inspired by my surroundings and the continuous visual stimulation that it provides. From the earthy raw landscapes of my birth place Sicily to the vast and natural Australian environment and diversity of its people.\nThe narrative for my current work comes from ideas and visions derived from the words Journey People\, Place and Time ” The se thoughts and images are real and unreal\, abstract and figurative\, past present and future. They may be tranquil or tempestuous\, light or dark\, timid or bold \, perfect or imperfect.\nThese abstract sculptures and paintings are depicting the strong connection between the human entity \, the diversity of the natural and urban landscapes and the effects of ti me . This fusion creates ever evolving and varied experiences that become part of a continuous journey. \nPietro’s sculptures in this exhibition are made from wood\, with interesting surface texture. \nBiography\nFrom a very early age I have had the desire to do all things creative and I was always allowed the opportunity to explore these wonderful pursuits.\nBorn 1961 in Sicily\, Italy which gave me an upbringing of Mediterranean vitality and creative culture. My family migrated to Tasmania in the late 60’s and then my journey had truly begun with a very different lifestyle and culture. I saw it as an opportunity to explore creative ideas with a total freedom of expression.\nFollowing my school years\, I decided to commit to study in art and completed a BFA Degree at the School of Art\, University of Tasmania. My subject areas involved Ceramic Sculpture\, Painting and Drawing.\nAfter my studies I moved to Melbourne to gain more exposure and work with various artists .On receiving a Grant from the Crafts Board\, Australia Council\, I completed a 18 month residency at the Meat Market Craft Centre in Melbourne . This culminated in my first solo exhibition at Devise Gallery which was complimented by then starting my own studio practice.\nOver the years I have continued to work in various mediums and exhibited in a number of group exhibitions in Melbourne and interstate. I share this journey with my own wonderful family that are very supportive and also a great inspiration. \n \nMore Images from the Exhibition\n \n \n \n

SUMMARY:CONNECTIONS
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n10th August to 24th September 2024\nExhibition Opening 3pm\, 10 August\nMeet the artists and enjoy the exhibition \nTwo local artists explore the idea of connection through clay and printmaking. Ceramicist Jo Davies and printmaker Kate Herd pay testimony to the interdependence of\, and within\, nature and community. The artists are neighbours and both enjoy a longstanding relationship with the Yarra River landscape. Observing the micro and macro\, human and non-human worlds in their river-side ‘backyard’ over an extended period\, they consider the necessity of co-dependent networks – both social and ecological – for the health of our existence. \nThe artists see gardens as a locus for nature and community; Gardens both wild and cultivated provide stimulus for their artistic practice. For Jo and Kate\, gardens are not just living places of refuge and regeneration\, but also philosophically significant and symbolically laden landscapes of the mind. The works on paper and ceramic vessels might variously respond to the morphology of flowers\, plants and wildlife\, or the colours of foliage\, fungi and seedpods\, interspecies relationships or perhaps simply the play of shadows on branches. \n \nIn the Bolin Bolin Gallery space\, Jo’s sumptuous ceramic forms complement Kate’s mostly black and white linocuts and ethereal etchings; With Kate’s images providing a graphic background to Jo’s richly-glazed organic bowls\, bottles and assemblages. The forms of these vessels take on personalities and embody observations made in nature. Placed together\, the small ceramic elements seemingly communicate with each other. When presented in groups the assemblages reconceptualize landscape and relationships. Nature; The light falling between trees; A family photo; Family; Table chatter; Connections and relationships –all fuel Jo’s creativity. \n \nKate’s works on paper – in the form of drawings\, papercuts and etchings – reflect her love of flora and fauna and passion for gardens and the Australian bush. Her prints often feature plants\, birds and animals and posit the garden as a site of delight and contemplation but also as a place where senescence and death might intrude. The interplay between human and non-human living things in Kate’s whimsical images is a means to explore the imaginative world of childhood\, often referencing the rich symbolism of fairy tales and folk art. \nKate Herd\n \n \nJo Davies
