Arts Offer the Challenge- Lynne Sinclair Taylor

The well known Hamilton artists tutor Lynne Sinclair Taylor opened the Affordable Art Exhibition, a show of her new works last weekend. Most of Lynne’s work which represented the acrylics and oils, and come from a background in advertising and fashion design. Also she was doing more abstract and figurative work of female images. Lynne said “I have focused on stylized women in abstract, impressionist and realists styles”.

Furthermore, Lynne teaches children and adults and will launch a school holiday workshop for them, she said “I want to bring more messages into my art and provoke people to think about their life values and self esteem”.

Overall, Lynne wants to use her paintings to challenge those who view her works, and it was a great experience for most viewers whom do not know about the definition of her art, and a great opportunity that can deeply to seek around through her work and learn more from her workshop.

Make Over the Power Box- Karen Beckett

Sometimes when we walk down through the street, we can see many buildings, walls, huge masterpiece or public displays are painted by using different colours.
Karen Beckett is part-time artists who enjoys paintings on but were pinched from the St Vincent de Paul op-shop in Frankton Hamilton recently. She was also redundant from her casual employment in a Frankton scrap yard last month.

However, Karen cannot stop out and keeps doing to brighten the place up. She never thinks about giving up her interest. She still keeps her enthusiastic in working everywhere and helps out the Frankton Markets by painting murals on electricity boxes and Telecom boxes, and participates the Hamilton City Council’s anti-graffiti adopt a box campaign. No matter how difficult situation is, Karen shows her insistence and persistence her goal. Now she is still doing painting and decorating the public displays around the city, and makes the subjects looks more conspicuous and artistic.
