By Helen Tatchell<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Born in India and a childhood spent in Uganda, East Africa, has strong memories for local Bacchus Marsh artist Anuradha (Anu) Patel who was fully educated in England.
\nTime spent in an outdoor environment allowed Anu as a young child to explore details of plant forms and the natural world.
\n\u201cThere is an autobiographical element to my work, often in the form of visual diaries.
\n\u201cThe images are an emotional expression of situations and experiences,\u201d she said.
\nMs Patel was speaking at the opening of her exhibition and art show, \u2018A Collection of Works\u2019, at the B-Mac Gallery in Bacchus Marsh.
\nThe B-Mac Gallery is an artist run space, an initiative of the Bacchus Marsh Arts Council, and located in the Village Shopping Centre (facing Bennett street).
\nThe artworks are made largely in metal, using industrial processes such as laser cutting.
\n\u201cThis process enables me to transfer directly my studio practice of paper cutting (a traditional technique widely practiced in India) into intricately cut design in metal.\u201d
\nSpeaking at the gala opening of the exhibition on Friday 20 April, Ms Patel said she was very pleased to have the opportunity to do a one-person show at the gallery she helped to set up as a community led project.
\n\u201cWe are going in to our fifteenth month and it has had quite an impact and I believe we\u2019re are making inroads with the arts. We are also making breakthroughs where we didn\u2019t have those before.
\n\u201cFor me, it is a pleasure to have a body of work. As an artist I work on things in different stages of my life, and not everything comes together. So here I am enjoying seeing my works as a whole displayed for the public to enjoy, and maybe purchase.
\n\u201cMy life is art and it always has been, across four continents. I live and breathe art,\u201d Ms Patel said.
\nOfficially opened by Moorabool Mayor Paul Tatchell who said once an artwork was complete it was for someone else to enjoy.
\n\u201cAnu has an incredible sense of passion and excitement for art and brings something different to the rural sector, and we are absolutely blessed to have someone like Anu in our community.\u201d
\nThe exhibition is now open Wednesday to Sunday (10am-3pm) until Sunday 27 May 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
