LINDA WEIL IN NATIONAL VIRTUAL EXHIBITION INSPIRED BY NATURE

INSPIRATION WILD: FOUNDATION ARTISTS 6 YEARS ON 

Local Cheltenham artist Linda Weil has been invited to exhibit in a national virtual exhibition featuring internationally recognised artists who are all inspired to enrich our appreciation of the Australian natural environment through their art. Other Victorian artists of note include Liz Cogley, Mali Moir, Paul Margoscsy Elena Kolutusha, Robert Knight and Glenys Buzza. The exhibition is curated by Queensland based wildlife artist Dr. Pete Marshall for the WAMA Foundation.

This exciting virtual exhibition of new works follows the publication of the extremely successful art book – the first published by the Wildlife Art Museum of Australia Foundation. Thirty of the original Australian Foundation Artists are exhibiting their art works in a virtual exhibition to celebrate nature and environment through art. These artists, all with international reputations, supported the WAMA Project to develop an art museum in a native environment in Western Victoria from its conception, and are still encouraging in their support today.

Linda will be interviewed on local radio 88.3 Southern FM for broadcast on Friday, October 23 with Leanne Coutler 'Arts and Entertainment' section between 9 - 11am,

 “The artists featured in this exhibition draw their inspirations from the natural world in amazingly diverse ways,”

“Creating beautiful and deeply meaningful works of art in a variety of mediums, complementing their subjects, but delving deeper into the wonders of nature with their individual and very personal responses.”

“Too many to name individually, these artists are recognised throughout Australia and in many art circles around the world, but do include Tony Pridham, Sophie Cape and Noel Hart, named to show the diversity of approach to art within this exhibiting group.”

To complement these original artists, two Indigenous artists have been invited as guest artists to exhibit their work also. Paul Bong and Daniel O’Shane are deeply inspired by their culture and tell and record their cultural stories in intriguing and thought provoking ways through their art. Both highly acclaimed artists, their work hangs in Parliament House and The National Gallery of Australia in Canberra.

“It is my pleasure and privilege to again gather these artists together to showcase their inspiring works  which are for sale and to support WAMA.”Pete Marshall.

WAMA’s online art exhibition, INSPIRATION WILD: FOUNDATION ARTISTS 6 YEARS ON, is available for viewing from the 19th October until  30^th November at www.wama.net.au/art-exhibition
