January sees another fantastic array of local talent in our libraries. 16 January – 3 February Batemans Bay Library Artist: Bronwen Smith and Gavin Chatfield A proud Walbunga woman from the Yuin Nation South East Coast of NSW, Bronwen Smith describes her art style as contemporary traditional Aboriginal. She is inspired to draw and paint by the nature around her, particularly the ocean environment and sea life. Gavin Chatfield is a proud Wiradjuri man, born in Batemans Bay, New South Wales, whose bloodline runs from Gilgandra. His artwork represents red dust, south coast waters and the natural environment that surrounds him. Artist Floor Talk: Tuesday 31 January 11am – 12pm
