~ Visiting Artist Profiles ~

Melinda Muscat

I have been making art since I was 12 with a passion.
A passion to creat beautiful things full of colour.
I have exhibited widely since 1988 when I finished
my Fine Arts degree at RMIT majoring in painting.

I am originally from Melbourne, moving to Ballarat two
years ago. In Ballarat I have found a sense of community
friendship and support.

My art is usually of a figuritive, surreal nature which
evolves around colour, patterns and layering. I work
across many mediums including oil painting, drawing,
digital art, sewing etc. I like to mix mediums and so
whatever it takes to create a beautiful image with
no regard for boundries.

I also work as a librarian and play drums in a punk
rock band based in Ballarat, called The Pigs Arse.

Life is about making Art!

Colleen Shreenan

Hi my name is Colleen, I am a mother of three children.
I love most art and craft activities and whenever I get
a chance to get into my inspirational zone, I like to get
the paints or pastels out and have a bit of a play.

I enjoy learning and participating in art classes when
I can fit into the family scheduale. I have worked
in oils, acrylics and pastels.

I have a great appreciation for art and I am
supportive of community development and enjoy participating
in events which bring communities closer together.
