With a lifetime passion of observing humanity, Jocelyn's exhibition "Inspirations - Black Head to Patonga" reflects a long career stretching from our own region to the Central Coast and will be close to the hearts of most MidCoast locals.
"Inspirations" is a snapshot of Jocelyn’s career and includes drawings, paintings and printmaking inspired by these seaside communities.
Focusing on the work of a life model as art in itself, Jo's exhibition "Not just a nude - life models of the Manning", offers some thought provoking contemplation of the creative process.
Jo explores body and spirit through the medium of the human figure, focusing on local models who have been an important part of her working and teaching practice for the past 11 years in the Manning Valley.
She holds that life drawing is more than an analytical study of bones, muscle and flesh, but the intimate study of the individual, that unique self and personal presence.
Both exhibitions run until Sunday March 25.
