The Norwood Morialta High School has been a much respected contributor to the education of many young South Australians for ONE HUNDRED YEARS.

These young people have succeeded in many professions over the years and this exhibition plans to celebrate those members of the school community, both students and staff, who have pursued artistic careers.

So come along and reignite the memories of old and new scholars through the creative works of those people who have passed through the artistic influences of the school.

Creative Century will be launched by old scholar Prof. Kay Lawrence AM, Professor of Visual Art, School of Art, Architecture and Design, University of South Australia on Friday 4 June at 6pm.

Wild Fibres textile artists celebrate 5 years together with the presentation of this exhibition. The artists are all passionate about fibre. The group approach textile art from different backgrounds and use a variety of techniques to manipulate fibres. There will be a vibrant display of wall hangings, framed works, wearables, baskets and other pieces on show.

This is the seventh show by the group who choose an exhibition topic which enables each member to develop a body of work inspired by a common theme. The title “firelight” aims to evoke images of a sense of connectedness and feeling cosy when sitting together round a fire in contrast to the cold beyond.

Firelight will be launched by Cheryl Bridgart, Textile Artist internationally known for her free machine embroidered images on Friday 2 July at 6pm.

Volunteer Profile

Name: Lizzy Emery

How long have you volunteered at Pepper Street and what do you like about it? I began volunteering in late 2009, because I enjoy spending time in creative places, and Pepper Street is a good place to gain experience in an arts centre!

What is your favourite art style/form and why? Early 20th Century art, photography, and Romanticism would be my favourites. I am also very interested in art history and am currently undertaking studies at the South Australian School of Art.

“Hello, I’m Helen.

After retiring from a busy teaching career in art and music, during which I taught at 14 different schools and colleges here and overseas, including opening 6 new art departments, I have continued to keep busy by developing my arts practice here in Adelaide.

Courses and Master classes at the Adelaide Central School of Art, under the tuition of Rod Taylor, Anna Platten, Christopher Orchard, Daryl Austin, Gishka Van Ree, Arthur Phillips, and several others, have inspired me. My morning retirement pleasure of reading art books, while gazing into my courtyard with a cup of freshly brewed coffee in hand, is another influence observable in my work.

Recently I have been reading about and concentrating on 20th and 21st century artists such as Jon Schueler, Adja Yunkers, Alan Mitelman and Anslem Keifer.

The series of works I am displaying this month are inspired by Anslem Kiefers’ ‘Heavenly Palaces Series’. I have used ash (charcoal), acrylic and tissue paper in this series of small works titled ‘Heavenly Spaces’.

I hope you enjoy my journey….”

“I have been passionate about the artform of illustration since I was 13 years old… and some 60 years on I continue to find myself drawn to it!

Originally I studied at the Jesse Boots College in England, specializing in illustration and ‘craft’. Taking a break for motherhood and 5 children, I then resumed Art school in Adelaide, completing a Diploma of Art, majoring in Printmaking and Painting. This was at the North Adelaide School of Art.

The selection of works in my artist of the month display are based on visits to various parks and reserves around Adelaide, the Adelaide Hills and the Botanic Gardens. Ten, A4 framed works are complemented by a range of my printed bowls. These are made of hand-printed, handmade cast paper, reassembled into bowls. Scenes on these bowls may be from nature and/or historical buildings, also reflecting my love of working outdoors, creating drawings direct from the subject.

I hope you enjoy my showcased works.”
