- Join us for a fun and creative day, by visiting The Art gallery of NSW.
We are getting together in the Yiribana Gallery and will be inspired by Kamilaroi artist Aunty Elaine Russell’s art. Aunty Elaine liked to share stories and memories from her childhood through her paintings. Her bold, colourful style brings her tales to life and her paintings are an important record of growing up on a mission on the Lachlan River in New South Wales.
Aunty Elaine’s son Troy Russell has helped us develop an art-making activity based on his mum’s paintings. In this drop-in workshop, we invite you to think of a time when you had fun in or near water with your friends and transform your memory into a storytelling drawing.
Take part anytime between 11am and 3.00 pm. All materials and instruction are provided. Suitable for all ages.

She has exhibited her work in solo and group shows in both Iran and Australia, including notable exhibitions like Torques Paradox at Me Art Space, St Leonard’s, Sydney (2017), Home and Prize at Walker Street Gallery & Arts Centre, Melbourne (2016), Temporary Life at Annandale Creative Arts Centre, Sydney (2015), and Sales Art Gallery in Tehran (2006).
