Hoop Gallery would like to welcome you to our (freshly named) ‘In The Mix at Six’ creative conversations as we passionately believe in empowering the artist’s voice on the Surf Coast.
We are thrilled to announce that Martine Oderio from The Ligh Box Torquay is teaming up with Hoop Gallery Without Walls to share her unique story and creative journey as our guest at ‘In The Mix at Six’.
'My work celebrates creative exploration, and making art accessible to all. Inspired by love for the Torquay and Surf Coast community, my most recent series of work recreates local trees and scenery as clay sculptures, painted with acrylics. With each piece, I acknowledge a life, a form, or colours that enrich my daily lived experience walking to early morning dips, taking the dogs to the beach, or driving my family around town. Recognisable to locals, the trees evoke stories and memories and feelings that engage audiences of all ages and interests. Through my studio, The Light Box Torquay, I encourage others to unleash their creativity via workshops and studio practice, reminding us of the beauty in play. '
Get ready for an inspiring evening filled with art, stories, and a celebration of creativity!
