WELCOME TO MEENIYAN ART GALLERY E-NEWS
February 2025

Hello MAG Friends!

We are thrilled to present a diverse array of exhibitions for February. And join us for a Meet the Artist event this Sunday 2nd February at 2pm

"You may be a twitcher or perhaps you just appreciate a masterful use of a particular medium - either way we are sure you will enjoy February at MAG as we present 3 glorious exhibitions all with an avian theme.
 

Gallery 1. "Feathers in Flow" by Nadine Dudek: 
In "Feathers in Flow" in Gallery 1 we are showcasing Nadine Dudek's luminous watercolours of a wide variety of bird species. Nadine's confident brushstrokes convey the character of each of her subject matter with great economy and delicacy - it's no wonder her work is so popular with collectors. Her paintings have been exhibited in several Melbourne galleries and are held in private collections across Australia. This exhibition by Nadine Dudek is a delightful celebration of birds through the expert use of the watercolour medium.
 

Gallery 2. "Birds in the Wild" by Bill Harris: 
In "Birds in the Wild" in Gallery 2, Bill Harris' dramatic photographs provide detailed and up-close encounters with some of Australia's best loved bird species.  Bill's depiction of the superb colours & textures of his subject matter is masterful. Bill spends several months each year travelling across Australia and capturing images of birdlife he encounters along the way. Bill strongly believes that showcasing images of birds in the wild is an enormously powerful tool to help people connect with birdlife in particular, and nature generally. We are sure you will agree.
 

Gallery 3. "Magpie Menagerie" by Karen Neal: 
In Gallery 3 we present Karen Neal's exhibition "Magpie Menagerie" - a glimpse into her life with generations of a family of magpies that have shared her garden for nearly 10 years. Through the use of a range of media including linocuts, monoprints and watercolours the antics of this artist's beloved magpie muses are depicted with great humour and affection. Definitely not to be missed.
 

Join us as we celebrate the richness and diversity of artistic expression. Each exhibition promises a unique perspective, inviting you to reflect, question, and marvel at the boundless creativity of these incredible artists.

Warm regards,

The MAG Team
