Monday 7 July, 10AM
Join local artist Kate Jenvey as she shares her passion for Africa and the wild animals that captured her imagination as a child and continue to inspire her detailed and realistic art practice today.
About the artist
Kate is a realistic oil painter, graphite and pencil artist using nature for her inspiration. Her artistic interest began early as she grew to love and admire the magnificent wildlife that were an intrinsic part of her childhood years spent in East Africa. Her passion for Africa remains strong and influences much of her work today, with conservation issues often being the focus of her work to raise awareness. Now living in Australia, Kate’s home and studio embrace a relaxed rural setting where many native birds and animals are constant visitors and are therefore often featured within her intricate pencil work and colourful paintings.
Kate has been part of many group shows and exhibitions gleaning numerous awards along the way and has had eight solo shows, including Drawn to the Wild held at the Benalla Art Gallery in 2017.
