"Grow luxuriantly with resilience"

Flourish is a creative journey into the concept of thriving and growing in every sense.

Celebrating texture, colour and the gathering and expressing of inspiration taken from the natural world, this is an exhibition steeped in the essence of abundance and joy.

Co-exhibitors, Cassi-Jo Davis and Trish Durham are both well known for their love of collection and layering of different mediums in their art forms.

This, alongside reverence for and re-loving of materials is inherent in their work. Trish and Cassi find mutual appreciation in this exhibition which celebrates not only their ethos of using preloved materials, but their mutual love of gardens and nature in all her glory and magnificence.

The wide array of pieces on offer will include, wearable art and jewellery, wall fine art, unique homewares and art cards.

In this world of hurry and stress, this exhibition aims to offer a tranquil space to breathe, be and experience beautiful art.

Trish Durham studied art @ W.A.I.T in the 80's .She has also completed a range of TAFE courses & in addition has attended a vast number of workshops.

Trish has several decades of experience in a diverse array of mediums & environments.

Having run numerous community & private workshops,her true passion is facilitating & encouraging people's access to their own creativity often subdued by negative life experiences & self talk.
