Join us for an Artist Talk presented by Paul Macklin on Friday 6th September 2024, 11am – 12pm.

Paul Macklin is a versatile artist, art teacher and mentor. His creative journey spans poetry, music, pottery, painting, acting, graphic design and creative direction.

Paul balances his time between his family, painting, teaching and his gallery and studio at Art Farm. He draws inspiration from the Australian landscape, frequently visiting Arkaroola, the Hawkesbury River, and the forests and seascapes of the Central Coast.

His work has been featured in group and solo exhibitions and he leads various art education initiatives, including the Arkaroola and Hawkesbury Art Adventures and the Finding YOUR Way artist’s mentoring program. Paul was a finalist in the Gosford Art Prize in 2019 and 2021.

Inspired by landscapes, figures, and dreams, Paul’s art integrates traditional elements of structure, and form with explorations into abstraction and expression. He is infectiously passionate about learning and guiding others in their creative journeys, helping artists expand their creative practice by combining traditional principles with abstract, expressive techniques.

“I see that we all have a zone at the edge of our experience where we have the opportunity to learn; to step into the unknown. My job is to help artists discover ways to confidently extend their art making horizons.”

This event is presented in conjunction with Grampians Brushes.
