Reminding all that we will have Julie Simmons back for our monthly members meeting on Tuesday, 12th November 2024, at 7:30 pm in the Stan Stevens Room, Deerubbin Centre, Windsor.

This will be a Critique Night with Julie, please bring along a painting or 2 that you would like feedback, possible ideas to solve any problems you may be having with composition, colours, techniques, etc.

Cost is $5 at the door. Supper is provided and please remember to park outside due to early car park closure.

About Julie Simmons:

Julie Simmons trained as a commercial artist (Graphic Artist) after finishing school. She then worked as a tracer and detail draftsperson for an engineering company, where she also created exploded view drawings for car manuals.

While raising her family, Julie completed two Diplomas in pottery at Penrith TAFE, which led to a successful 16-year career as a studio potter.

In 2004, Julie returned to painting, focusing mainly on watercolours. Always keen to experiment, she expanded her practice to include oils, acrylics, and mixed media.

Julie now spends much of her time travelling in her trusty campervan, ‘Clarice’, sketching and painting across the country. Her sketchbooks and studies are the foundation for her studio work.

She has received numerous awards throughout Australia, and her work has been acquired by various councils and private businesses.

Julie is a Fellow of the Royal Art Society, and her paintings can be viewed at:

  • Soho Galleries
  • KAB Galleries
  • Purple Noon Gallery, Freemans Reach (www.purplenoongallery.com.au)

Reminder: MTAS Monthly Demo Meeting Tonight, 8th Oct 2024 – Pastels with Sue Gasser

posted by under Monthly Meeting, MTAS Monthly Meeting & Demonstration , , , , , , , , , , ,

Monthly Demonstration Meeting
with Sue Gasser – Pastels
 7.30pm, 8th October 2024

Reminding everyone that we will have Sue Gasser for our monthly meeting tonight, 8th October, 7:30pm at the Stan Stevens Room, Deerubbin Center Windsor.

In her demonstration, Sue will showcase her techniques for creating beautiful works in pastel.

Both members and non-members are welcome to join our meetings to view an inspirational artist at work each month, as well as the opportunity to enjoy networking with like-minded art enthusiasts.

Cost is $5 at the door. Supper is provided and please remember to park outside due to early car park closure.

About Sue Gasser:

Sue Gasser has worked as an artist for most of her life, having shown her natural talent since childhood.

In her thirties, she was introduced to pastels when she completed and topped a Showcard and Ticketwriting course. Her teacher advised her to forget signwriting and ‘go’ with her art, so she started entering shows and, to her surprise, began making some sales.

Sue fell in love with using pastels because they bring out the softness and detail she seeks in her work. She also realised that she’s more of a ‘drawer’ than a painter, which is the technique pastels naturally lend themselves to.

Living in the Blue Mountains of NSW, Sue has plenty of subjects to paint, especially animals. She’s passionate about Australian subjects—the landscape, wildlife, Aussie dogs, and more. Her paintings, whether of wildlife or domestic animals, showcase her love for them by highlighting intricate details like fur and feathers.

Sue has had many successful exhibitions and has won numerous awards, including the prestigious Art Awards of Sydney. One of her paintings was even bought by the Blue Mountains City Council to give as a gift to the Mayor of Sanda, Japan.

Sue’s art is known not only in Australia but also in many countries around the world. She enjoys teaching budding artists and finds it fulfilling to help and motivate others.

For enquiries about this demonstration, please phone Leigh at 0401 228 624.

Look forward to seeing you there!
