Evie's show moved forward.....!!!!


Last nights exhibition was unfortunately not possible, and has been moved forward  to this Friday 28th May.
The pictures are hung, the prices and titles have been sorted  and Evie is counting down to the new Opening!!

The overall display is amazing, with a stream of admirers having an early viewing today, and some really positive and encouraging feedback.
The following is a blurb supplied for the show.............

So, Evie Cahir is completing her final year at Ballarat Grammar, where she juggles literature and various folios (painting and drawing, visial communication and design technology)
Since she was physically capable, she has drawn things that inspire her-such as headdresses, crooked teeth, lopsided haircuts, lemon meringue and Alice Munro.
Watercolours, inks, pencil, pastel and acrylic paint is used to create simple, eclectic and 'scrappy' artwork.  The works of artists such as Mel Stringer, Alex Watson, Matisse, Kat Macleod, Cibella Court and Sarah Mcneil are the usual sources of inspiration...................

Those who have helped, tutored and taught are also influential, for example - Maggi Dannet (age 9-11)
Steve Morvell (11-13) Diane Jacono (13-14) pottery classes with Dawn Whitehand and Helen Lewis and workshops with Ann James.

Awards received in the past include 'Best Junior Art Award' at Trentham art show, 'Best Young Artist' at Steve Morvell's studio...........
Evie is also currently the recipient of an Art Scholarship at Ballarat Grammar.....
Evie looks forward to illustrating, designing and scribbling for a living.....

All are most welcome to call in to see this exhibition, hope to see you there! xx
