"Born a creator and born to create," decorated Australian artist Paul Macklin is inspired by landscapes, figures, and dreams.
He is also infectiously passionate about learning and guiding others in their creative journeys, and helps artists expand their creative practice by combining traditional principles with abstract, expressive techniques.
"I see that we all have a zone at the edge of our experience where we have the opportunity to learn; to step into the unknown," he says. "My job is to help artists discover ways to confidently extend their art making horizons."
You'll have the opportunity to see Paul speak in person at Ararat Gallery TAMA next week, where he'll touch on his own creative journey (which spans poetry, music, pottery, painting, acting, graphic design and creative direction) and his various art initiatives, as well as discover the ways in which you can expand your own creative practice.
This event is presented in conjunction with Grampians Brushes.
