Gallery Hopping in the North East -  'Art Gallery on Ovens' Janet Leith

3/11/2019

 
NEA members visiting Wangaratta are finding time to pop in to see the new 'Art Gallery on Ovens', a wonderful initiative involving a cooperative of twelve fine artists who live and work in North East Victoria.  It's a beautiful space in the blue stone lane way beside Where's My Coffee (formerly Gloria Jeans) in Ovens Street, Wangaratta near the bridge.  Congratulations to all concerned, including NEA exhibitors Janet Leith and Joan Mullarvey, and past exhibitor Kate Jenvey.

In Your Face Exhibition - 'Peoples' Choice' Prize Winner Announced​

3/9/2019

 'Aimee' Janet Leith, 2019   Oil on Canvas
North East Artisan’s Biennial portrait prize “In Your Face” closed on Saturday 31st August after a month of high visitation, complementing events and interesting debates.  
 
With its closure comes the announcement of “The People’s Choice” award, collated from the many votes of visitors to the exhibition. The $500 prize has been comprehensively won by Janet Leith with her portrait of a young woman “Aimee”.
 
Janet’s practice as an artist is centred in Wangaratta, although she has strong links to Benalla, both at North Eastern Artisans and Benalla Art Gallery.
 
“Aimee” is a refreshing and vivid portrait of a young woman moving from the left to right side of the picture whilst engaging the viewer directly with her eyes. Visitors obviously shared the positive elements the portrait represented.
 
The First Prize of the In Your Face Portrait Prize was shared by Frank Burgers’ “Mum”and Tanya Tabone’s “ Uncle Fred, Pumpkin Head”.  Selected by the official judge Debora Halpern, both portraits represented members of the artist’s family, honestly depicted.
 
In Your Face is rapidly developing into the exhibition prize to watch in the North East, with a wide selection of styles and subjects exhibited. It is a reliable measure of the people’s pulse in image and art.
 
North East Artisans thanks the artists, judge and organising committee and especially the sponsors and public, who make the prize come alive. We can’t wait till the 2021 prize….

Janet Leith paintings on display at Benalla Rural City's Benalla Library

14/1/2019

 
Picture
In 2018 artwork by a number of NEA artists was exhibited in the foyer display window of the Rural City of Benalla offices in Bridge Street, part of an arts bank like project inspired and facilitated by Benalla's Mayor, Councillor Don Firth.  Works by Tim Bowtell, Jamie Ferguson, Frank Burgers and Julie Burdis featured in the small gallery space near the lift in 2018..   

With the Council requiring the display window for Benalla Festival's 'Our Backyard' and Christmas exhibitions at the end of the year, a change of venue was arranged to the Sir Edward 'Weary' Dunlop Learning Centre in Fawckner Drive.  Janet Leith's 'The Arborist' and 'The Stripey Bike Rider' have now been on display there for a number of weeks. 

Recently Janet visited the library to see her work on exhibition, meeting the new librarian along the way.   If you are in the library, have a look at Janet's paintings on the wall towards the back of the library.

Coming up in Wangaratta  - November's wonderful 'Paint Presto' event!

8/9/2018

 
Picture
Paint Presto is a wonderful complement to the Wangaratta Jazz Festival.  On Day 2 It's most enjoyable to wonder between venues and come across the artists developing their work in the streets and in the outside venues.  Last year on Day 2 (Saturday) 'Paint Day', Janet Leith could be found painting outside the Wangaratta Art Gallery next to the Jazz Festival's WPACC jazz venues; while Frank Burgers had a most enjoyable time along with some other artists in the Blues tent.  

The Paint Presto website is well worth visiting if you would like to find out more - https://www.paintpresto.com - and if you would like to apply.  The last day for entries is October 30.  

NEA Portrait Artists Janet Leith and Cornelia Selover in 'Salon de Refuse'

10/9/2017

 
We at NEA were delighted to learn that two of our volunteer artists, Janet Leith and Cornelia Selover, were chosen for Melbourne's Archibald Prize off-shoot exhibition, the 2017 'Salon De Refuses'

​Janet Leith's portrait of 'The Dressmaker' author Rosalie Ham.
"I was inspired by Rosalie’s passion for the written word and her quirky, fun persona. As an avid reader myself, I decided I wanted to celebrate not only the genius of the author herself in my Archibald entry for 2017, but also the act of reading as a means of relaxation and enjoyment."

Cornelia Selover's portrait of 'Kitty May Allwood'
Cornelia Selover's many portraits of 'Kitty May'' leading up to the portrait submitted to the Archibald Prize are well known to people who follow Cornelia's work.  'Kitty May' #25 and #26 were displayed  in NEA;s 'In Your Face' portrait exhibition in July.  'Kitty May' featured in the 'Salon Refuses' is a stunning final portrait in Cornelia's 'Kitty May' series.
