Creative Melbourne is the home of Melbourne Festival.

Spring has sprung at Creative Melbourne Gallery! Our new exhibition HARMONY is a celebration of colour, light, and the new. 

Resident artist Sujata Aten is breaking out of her studio and onto the gallery walls with her vivid botanical works, inspired by her Indian heritage and the blooms in her own garden. She is joined by Anna Burns, who makes her debut in the gallery. Anna’s collection Bleu Français - inspired by the mists, skies, and landscapes of France - offers a minimalist perspective that allows the viewer to find a sense of tranquility and peace.

Kate Dawes uses pen and watercolour for her graphic floral works, which emphasise the details often missed in nature, bringing the joy of the outside, in. 

We are excited to welcome back mixed media artist Helen Hallows, whose pieces combine paint, collage and stitch. The world looks better through Helen’s lens: rolling hills, tangled branches, and curious birds all take centre stage on her canvases. 

Another stellar artist in the mixed media space is Zaza Lewis, whose pieces utilise textiles and paper cuts to create contemporary scenes that pull the eye. Be it a busy London flower market scene or a rainy day in Paris, Zaza finds the colour and texture to make it a moment to remember.

Resident artist Michelle Holmes brings her stunning embroideries to the gallery walls, with the first Betty collage making its debut alongside signature Michelle pieces that explore folklore and magic within nature. 

We are delighted to have a selection of originals by pointillist artist Mark Langley. We long to nestle beneath the tree in his piece “Hawthorn Blossom”, and watch the petals dance off the branches in “Magnolia Open Topiary”. Through his colour and detail, he captures the true essence of early Spring. 

Painter Steve Mcloughlin explores the hues of a bluebell wood in two brand new pieces to get lost in.

Amanda Hughes can always be relied upon to bring the bold. An abstract watercolour artist, Amanda’s practice is driven by joy and spontaneity, allowing her work to flow and unfold in a unique way. 

On the ceramics side we are thrilled to welcome back Lucy Ormsby. She brings a brand new selection of quirky sculptural vases alongside her much-loved wire posies, all in a soft yet lively colour palette. Anna Binns’ pastel works also make a return.

Jeweller Louise Mary Muttitt brings a selection of silver pieces inspired by the leaves. Her pieces are both special and unique, and wearable, making them the perfect gift for someone you love… or even just yourself! We also have a selection of jewellery from Anna Roebuck of The Making House, made from sustainable materials and in a selection of colours. 

In addition to our featured artists don’t miss the stunning work by our studio artists Sujata Aten, Michelle Holmes and Patrick Twiss-Prentice.

Open Wednesday - Saturday, 10am to 4pm
