About Tammy Porter:
As an artist, Tammy has participated in different community and cultural projects using mainly Acrylic paint as a medium. Tammy previously worked in a role to promote the healing benefits of arts and social connections at St John of God Hospital, Windsor.
After attending Nepean TAFE and doing a course in graphic design, Tammy used these skills in her office administration roles and in producing a community directory. Tammy is now pursuing her passion and studying a Bachelor of Fine Art, painting online at Curtin University in WA.
Tammy’s cultural background is diverse, being a mix of Aboriginal and different European countries; she is proud to have been able to reconnect with her Aboriginal heritage, become a member, and paint within a community of people from many Aboriginal Nations.
At present, she uses Acrylic paints with an occasional dabble in Watercolours. She finds that acrylics are highly versatile, from the runny and messy qualities of the pouring techniques; to their suitability for dotting and use in Aboriginal art.
Tammy ads that adaptability is one of the medium’s strengths; furthermore, it can be incorporated into mixed media or moulded for textural applications. Tammy initially saw them as an oil replacement, but now she continues to discover and love this medium.
While studying and painting, Tammy’s inspiration is to find a connection between community and self-expression, pushing the boundaries of ideas to seek and define a unique personal style.
Tammy’s artwork “Connections” was awarded 1st prize at the Hawkesbury Show this year.
Monthly Demonstration Meeting with Dee Jackson – Portrait in Watercolour 7.30pm, 13th June 2023
We are delighted to have Dee Jackson back with us to demonstrate ‘Painting a Portrait in Watercolour’ at our next monthly meeting on Tuesday 13th June, 7:30pm at the Stan Stevens Studio, Deerubbin Centre, George St, Windsor.
Come along to see her beautiful technique and work in action.

About Dee Jackson:
Watercolour is Dee’s great love. For her, it is the fluid spontaneity that has the attraction. Watercolour, as a medium, lends itself to the softness and curves of the human form. It allows the artist great freedom.
Whenever she creates a portrait, she becomes aware of the almost seamless link we have with our past or future, our hopes, joys, or sorrows. For her, portraiture by its very nature is an intimate experience. Preoccupied as we often are, perhaps from very different backgrounds, there is always a human connection.
For Dee, although each portrait essentially begins the same way – with discussion, planning, sketching, watercolour washes and glazes – ultimately the creation of each portrait is an individual experience.
Her portraits have been commissioned throughout Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the USA, and Vietnam.
