When artist Georgie Gall approached the Hive Gallery to enable her next exhibition to be a fundraiser for the Royal Melbourne Hospital Foundation, it seemed a natural fit for Karen Spreadborough, the curator and director, who has also spent 29 years as a physiotherapist.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo combine my interest in art and health seemed ideal to say \u2018yes\u2019 to,\u201d Karen said, as The Hive aims to build its presence in the community.
\nSix months, and many meetings and discussions later, \u201cThe Artist of the Month\u201d Program to raise money for the Royal Melbourne Hospital Foundation has just launched, with Georgie Gall leading the way with her collection Dawn to Dusk, which features tranquil paintings of waterways, inspired by the changing light of day.’<\/p>\n

Restricted to Melbourne during the long COVID Lockdown, as time wore on, Georgie \u201cfound her paintings became more meditative, and more of an escape into a calm and beautiful world on the canvas\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a large body of work from Georgie, featuring her iconic water birds and signature use of texture within her abstract scenes of oceans and water,\u201d Karen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe paintings are serene and no surprise that they already grace the walls of the Royal Melbourne Hospital I.C.U. and waiting room thanks to Georgie\u2019s generosity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey add a beautiful reprieve from a challenging environment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ed Smith, director of the RMH Foundation was present to open the Exhibition which runs until May 1.<\/p>\n

Initially, the funds raised will go towards purchasing a Wide-Field Digital Imaging Camera that will aid diagnostic accuracy and treatment of eye patients.<\/p>\n

\u201cWithout healthy eyesight it is, of course, harder to appreciate visual art,\u201d Ed said.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Both The Hive and Georgie Gall will be proudly donating a part of the proceeds of each sale for the month towards the RMH Foundation.<\/p>\n

The Hive Gallery is situated at 1\/41 Smithton Grove, Ocean Grove and open Friday to Sunday 10 to 4pm or by appointment on 0417 116 216.
\nGet behind this initiative and you might end up with a stunning piece of original art and the joy and knowledge you are supporting a vital cause, and one of the state\u2019s largest hospitals.<\/p>\n

All works can be seen online at thehiveoceangrove.com.au<\/a><\/p>\n
