NATURE GRACES Surf Coast Art Space

Anglesea’s community gallery Surf Coast Art Space has seen an exciting transition over the last week, with new exhibition “Botanic” proving popular amongst locals in the area.

Showcasing a range of eco-dyed creations including scarves, textiles, prints and cards, the exhibition was designed and printed by friends Deb Elliott and Louise Price over 15 months in Anglesea.

Inspired by nature and the environment, the works feature soft hues, intricate markings and iconic Australian symbols including the gumnut.

Gallery coordinator Cinnamon Stephens said the exhibition has received an overwhelming response since it opened last Thursday.

“Deb and Louise have been working on this incredible exhibition for 15 months together in Anglesea,” she said.

“Botanic has been hugely successful – it  is like no other we have had before. The huge amount of eco-dyed textile scarves hanging around the walls is an absolute visual delight.

“Deb and Louise are busy creating more stock on their two days off.” Artists Deb and Louise hosted an exclusive “meet the artists” event on Friday, March 22 to commemorate their collaborative artistic effort.

The exhibition will be open until Sunday, April 7. For more information, phone 0400 436 308.
