MICHELLE Mischkulnig’s textile art is inspired by places she has visited – both real, and in her imagination.
Colour for the Soul, an exhibition of her work, was launched last week at Stonehouse Gallery in Warrandyte and runs through to 3 June.
Ms Mischkulnig uses her own dyed fabrics, threads and creative machine work to create her story pictures.
“It is an exhibition which will delight all who appreciate beauty, colour, nature and the imagination,” said Jenny John, a fellow artist and gallery director.
“Michelle’s works may reflect the tranquillity of the forest or the moods of the ocean, nature allows her to re-energise her soul and find inner peace and harmony.”
Ms Mischkulnig studied textiles at RMIT and is a recognised artist having developed her own techniques and style.
“The exhibition has extended both her technical skills and subjects to create an exhibition not to be missed,” Ms John said.
Stonehouse Gallery is at 103 Yarra Street Warandyte. Phone 9844 3629.
