Members
of the community are invited to meet nationally
acclaimed artist Madeleine Winch who will present an artists-talk about her
life and work at Manning Regional Gallery on Thursday 20th March
from 1pm to 2pm.
Madeleine
Winch was born in Melbourne in 1950 and now lives in Sydney. The exhibition
currently showing at the Manning Regional Gallery titled States of Being is her 40th solo
exhibition and is touring around NSW. Madeline studied design at the National
Art School, Sydney and later set up a studio on the Greek island of Paros. Her paintings
have been finalists in the prestigious Dobell, Sulman and Portia Geach art prizes.
She has also illustrated several children’s books, including Edward Wilkins
and his Friend and Come by Chance.
Gallery
Director Sue Mitchell believes that the people of the Manning Valley are fortunate
to be able to meet artists of this calibre, who are such important figures in
Australian art, in their own town.
Come and meet the artist. Entry of $5 includes
coffee and cake. RSVP gallery@gtcc.nsw.gov.au or 02 65925399
