ARMIDALE

In Armidale I had the chance to view (and help to create) some great artwork!

The new England regional art museum has a fabulous collection of early Australian painting from the Howard Hinton Collection. I was lucky to have a private tour through the stockroom and saw some fabulous works by Lloyd Rees, Margaret Preston, Streeton and others. The Howard Hinton Collection, in the sheer breadth of its cover of Australian art from the 1880s to the 1940s, is the only collection of its kind in regional Australia. 
 
The gallery also has a fabulous café with outdoor courtyard, which is also accessible!
 
The Armidale art gallery in Beardy St is another great gallery in the area, with works by local artists.

Lucy's finished self-portrait, "My Herb Garden"
My workshop participant in Armidale was Lucy Hutton. Now in her 20’s, Lucy was just 12 when she went in for an operation on her spine to help correct a severe curvature. She is now a paraplegic.

Lucy enjoyed learning how to use her camera and particularly liked the touch screen canon cameras with the adapted tripod mount. Lucy loves growing herbs in her garden and using them in her cooking.
 
Lucy's work was entitled My Herb Garden, and she said that her work was inspired by "[her] interest in cooking and gardening. I enjoy growing my herbs and vegetables that I can use in my cooking."

Thanks to Lucy and to Armidale!
