Join us for a relaxed artist talk and afternoon tea with Lorna Hobbs, to coincide with her Gallery Shop exhibition, Precious and Precarious.
Lorna Hobbs began wildlife ceramics in 2007, when her first sculpture — a Kookaburra — seemingly ‘came to life’ in her hands. Her years of painting and drawing animals, plus untold hours photographing them, informs her work. Using her art practice to highlight environmental concerns also extends on decades of teaching Science, where she would explore nature and wildlife issues with her students. Lorna is a member of the Wildlife Art Society of Australasia; Valley Potters Inc.; and is the current President of Broken River Potters, Benalla. Having entered regional and national art exhibitions since 2014, she has won numerous awards and sold work to various private collectors.
