Current Exhibition

Lisa Tiffen - Plume

Have you ever gone for a walk, and found a feather that you have kept and it’s become a special keepsake? Many people do. Artist Lisa Tiffin has a collection of feathers that was started by her son when he was very young.

Some of those feathers hold a personal story for Lisa, so she began to paint them. First as single feathers, then as groups and finally as part of a still life. Seventeen of those paintings are on show now. For each painting, Lisa also wrote a short poem.

These exquisite paintings express a quiet beauty, a sense of stillness that draws the viewer in to reflect. An antidote to our present turbulent world.

Lisa explains, “I like painting beautiful things, but it is important to me that the objects I paint have meaning and story behind them. This can come from the objects themselves or the way they are arranged. Writing is also an important aspect of my creative life, as is music. I find the arts are a wonderful way to channel and process my emotions.”

Lisa was raised in the Northern Rivers. She has no formal art training but attended workshops run by Jenny Porter. She divides her time working across multiple fields, which include writing, music and visual arts.

Closes 27 November
