Outsider Art, Abstract artworks, paintings for sale, original oil on canvas, acrylic paintings and drawings, modern and comtemporary by Dawn Lim.
Dawn is at the painting stage for the traffic signal boxes project, this time with the Ballarat Migrant Women's group. All forms submitted and next Tuesday they will be painiing if it is a nice day.
Tomorrow at 6pm will be the opening of the Terrain Exhibition at the Backspace gallery in Camp St, the old police building.
Dawn was the guest speaker at the launch of the Able Art exhibition at the Gallery of Ballarat.
She was talking about the art and disablitilty on the day of the International year of the Disability, and about her guest artist's role at the workshop for the Ballarat and Inagawa, sister cities art exchange project. It was a pleasant night with the culmination of the exhibition returning to Ballarat.
Dawn started another series of experiments in colour with a similar design of the finalist's piece in AAA art competition. Any comments
Dawn had a most wonderful interview with Dr Caroline Ellison from Flinders University who is doing a research on how disability artists go about their creative work. She thought that we were the best example of an artist and mentor couple she has ever met around the world. We were so very happy to be talking to her and hope to cultivate a special relationship with her.
Dawn gave two introduction to art workshops at BRACE today.
Starts with a powerpoint presentation on care of brushes and then a session on mark making and mixing colours. They were well received.
Day 2, or final now, Dawn likes it better now and thinks it is finished, Helamen thinks it is reminded him of a Chinese doorpost greeting or welcome sign.
This is the first day of painting, has 3 layers, background, glowing orangy colour, and laying down some patterns might be useful. Decided to have something hidden in the centre.
In the past, after "beguiled", I was stymied about the middle of the painting, what to have there, now I hope this works!
yiphee, Dawn received her sketchbook today, and the world tour will be coming to Melbourne for the First time, out of the States.
Dawn is excited to fill it up with drawings depicting her theme of "Hope".
Started out on a new painting on a primed canvas (1220x1524mm) in the colours that I liked which I used before in "Prancing in Paris". I feel these colours goes well with each other and I layered them in blocks and worked in the lines until they got somewhere.
Day 1
Dawn was very honoured to called by Emma in this Japanese twin sister city with Ballarat, to assist the artists with this show as a professional artist with a disability.
The following was in the Courier 24 Jun 2011,
The 'Inagawa Art Exchange' is designed to engage artists with a disability from Ballarat and Inagawa to make art work that will be a part of a joint exhibition in Japan and Australia.
Councillor f John Philips said that this project offers our local artists a unique and exciting opportunity to exhibit their work internationally. The Ballarat artworks created over this two day workshop will be sent to Japan to feature in a joint 'Able Art' exhibition in Inagawa in August.
