October Feature Artist – Josephine Blue

We are very pleased to show Josephine Blue as our feature artist at Musson Lane Gallery for the month of October. 

Josephine grew up in an arty family. After high school, she completed a BA at the University of Sydney, majoring in Fine Arts and Education which led her to primary teaching.

Becoming a full-time Mum gave her the opportunity to dabble in art as a hobby. In 1990, they moved to the Hawkesbury where she enrolled in evening courses at TAFE for over 10 years, learning Drawing, Fine Arts, Photography and Ceramics.

She almost finished Fabric Design and Printing but a job teaching art in high school took precedence.

Working as a sales consultant for an art supply company gave Josephine access to new art materials and the opportunity to run art workshops. When she opened Blue Gallery in Richmond, she gave art photography lessons and taught photography at the Hawkesbury Community College.

As President of Hawkesbury Camera Club, she began the “Photos for Children” Competition, where members annually provide photos for the Children’s Ward of Hawkesbury Hospital.

While a member of Hawkesbury Community Arts Workshop, she has developed her own style of art using oil pastels and is currently studying for a Diploma in Art Therapy.

She also enjoys singing in Chorella choir and playing cello in Macquarie Towns Orchestra. She has been working on a series of paintings inspired by photos as well. 

In 2011, Josephine took in Monet’s garden in France and is excited and thankful to be exhibiting them here.

Come visit us at the Musson Lane Gallery to view Josephine’s artworks and over 100 works from our members as well.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
