Monthly Demonstration Meeting
with Andrea Marriette – Acrylics
 7.30pm, 14th November 2023

Reminding all that we will have Andrea Marriette demonstrating Acrylics at our next monthly meeting on Tuesday, 14th November, 7:30pm at the Stan Stevens Room, Deerubbin Center Windsor.

Come along to see Andrea’s beautiful painting techniques.

Both members and non-members are welcome to join our meetings to view an inspirational artist at work each month, as well as the opportunity to enjoy networking with like-minded art enthusiasts.

Cost is $5 at the door. Supper is provided and please remember to park outside due to early car park closure.

About Andrea Marriette:

Andrea Marriette is a full-time, award-winning artist who loves to express her visions on canvas with colour and texture using various mediums.

Many of her artworks have been sold throughout Australia, the USA, Europe, and by private collectors.

After leaving school Andrea spent 5 years learning & studying art and design through College and University in the UK. Over the years she has also painted murals in restaurants, and kids’ bedrooms, curated and designed artworks to decorate office spaces in Sydney and Melbourne, and has had paintings published in International magazines. 

​Andrea sees inspiration all around her and her creative list is always expanding. But most of her artworks are centered around her love and appreciation for nature, wildlife, and plants. 

With nature, she’s instantly drawn to the colours, textures, and patterns. She then paints it as she envisages it through abstracts.

With birds, insects, animals, plants, and the occasional landscape she applies traditional fine art, understanding the direction of the light and mapping out the artwork to make sure the perspective and ratios are correct. 

Andrea also creates figurative surreal artworks where her vision is to connect humanity more with nature in one artwork.

Monthly Demonstration Meeting
with Hiren Patel – Oils
Tomorrow, 10th October 2023

Reminding all that we will have Hiren Patel back for our Monthly meeting tomorrow, 10th October, 7:30pm at the Stan Stevens Room, Deerubbin Center Windsor.

Hiren will be painting a Sydney Harbour surroundings scene using oil paints for us. Come along to see Hiren’s beautiful painting techniques.

Both members and non-members are welcome to join our meetings to view an inspirational artist at work each month, as well as the opportunity to enjoy networking with like-minded art enthusiasts.

About Hiren Patel:

Hiren Patel was born in India but is now based in Sydney. He studied and worked as an Engineer until he stumbled upon the Art Gallery of NSW. This sparked his longtime interest in art again and started studying and practicing painting.

Hiren is highly influenced by Australian impressionists and modern painters, His recent urban vistas are intensely personal renditions of the places he wandered in Australia and India.

Using his sketches, photographs, and memory, he transforms everyday mundane subjects into visual poetries by richly layering colours and instinctive paint application. Good design, composition, and dramatic light are the most important aspects of his work.

Hiren is also an Associate of the Royal Art Society and has been a winner of many juried shows and awarded multiple first prizes such as Lloyd Rees, Joshua Smith, and best in categories in recent years in Sydney.
