From Inspiration to Creation

Glen Eira Cheltenham Art Group’s annual exhibition presents recent artworks by its child and adult members, along with ceramics by guest artists from the Moorleigh Ceramic Co-op.

Showcasing both contemporary and traditional styles, the artists all share a common feeling: the motivation to create.

Finding a way to depict what is in the mind’s eye, or going where the artwork takes you, is a journey of discovery. Whatever the initial inspiration, whether it is taken from the imagination, a piece of writing, an experience, seeing the play of light on an object, or an arresting view, the artist uses their experience or tries new methods to arrive at the finished piece. When complete, each creation takes on a life of its own, as it evokes an emotion in the viewer.
