💫Exciting new pieces by Kim Sedgley .sed 💫

Kim Sedgley is a Geelong-based film photographer who has been shooting on 35mm for five years. They are drawn to film for its imperfections - the grain, the unpredictability, the way you surrender control and trust what comes back. Their work finds meaning in moments most people don’t think to photograph, approached from angles that make the familiar feel worth a second look. This is Kim’s first exhibition.

💫Exciting new piece by Sandra Monkhouse 💫

Sandra is an Argentinian–Australian emerging artist inspired by her experiences in both countries. Her work, which includes portraiture and fashion illustration, balances memory and place, reflecting themes of feminine strength and cultural identity. A self-taught artist since 2016, she uses watercolour, gouache, pencil, ink, and acrylics. Sandra has exhibited in Adelaide, Salta, and Melbourne, and creates bespoke commissioned pieces. Now based in Ballarat, she looks forward to connecting with the artistic community of the Victorian Central Highlands.

Gracias, mamá” is a small work paying homage to my mother, María Natividad, and my mother-in-law, Monica. A posy of native Australian flowers to thank my dearest Mum for her love, strength, and resilience. Flowers, I could never gift her because she never had the chance to visit Australia. The vintage vase represents the love of beautiful things, which my dear mother-in-law instilled in me. Belonging to two worlds, I am grateful to two mothers who, although they are no longer in this world, continue to guide me every step of the way.

Did you know that catching cancer early can make a difference? 🩺❤️

Last year, we held a morning tea and art exhibition, with proceeds supporting Breast Cancer Australia. This cause is close to my heart, as I faced my own cancer journey six years ago, including chemotherapy and surgery. Seeing my mum, cousin, and mother-in-law fight their battles has fueled my passion to help others.

Recently, we participated in the Mother’s Walk to raise funds! 💪

I encourage everyone to book their annual mammogram and perform regular breast self-exams.

This October, we’re excited to announce the return of our “Breast Cancer Exhibition,” from September 25 to October 18! Every commission and donation will support vital breast cancer research. 🎨✨
