17 May - 16 June Fast becoming an annual event, this collaborative exhibition, by artists in the Greater Dandenong, Casey and Cardinia regions, portrays the journey and processes that promote mental health. The culmination of this exhibition has seen each exhibiting artist explore the fundamental visual elements of image making – Line, Shape, Mass, Light, Colour, Texture, Space and Time and Motion to visually express and represent individual experience and knowledge.

30 August - 29 September I can remember as a young child in the 1960’s roaming through all the alleyways and arcades in Melbourne and as I held the hand of my mum I looked upwards at all the beautiful treasures and architecture that is in abundance. As a child beautiful objects fascinated me so when faced with a disability later in life I turned to make art, the child is emerging now and I love to produce art works of a difference whether its painting or Making Angel Masks or “Blinging" War Gas masks. I really enjoy the challenge to produce something different all the time. I recycle lots of things that I find within the community and opportunity shops.
My Dream is to extend my talent and develop the mixed media medium in my style and with assistance from the Art Community I believe you are limited only by your imagination.

4 October - 3 November When we look at a cloud or into the dancing flames of a fire, it is our imagination, perhaps triggered by our sub conscious, that allows us to see images of fantasy or altered reality. The intense pleasure produced by our sensory manifestations is that of beauty. The essence of beauty can be found in the simplicity of the symmetry of the human form, nature, objects that have been changed by humans, decay and our imagination. Chris Hutchinson has produced new works that capture elements of beauty in his sculptures, etchings, woodcuts, engravings, photographs and paintings, whether in abstracted or stylized representations of the human form.
Abstraction allows the viewer to use their imagination to see beyond the basic shapes that are before them. The works that are more representational, enable a sensory discovery that might trigger a distant memory of a time since past or they might simply be enjoyed for their shape, form or colour.
