Join us on a fun, liberating two-day weekend exploring the unbounded world of mixed media portraiture.

Employing several experimental drawing, painting, and collage assemblage techniques, practicing artists Rachael Burke will lead this open, supported studio time, encouraging all mediums to merge, blend and collide.

Looking at contemporary artists and pioneers of the 20th century, such as Hannah Höch, participants will observe the methods, concepts and approach to the medium each artist takes.

Participants will grow in confidence, creating a variety of distinctly unique portraits by using multiple methodologies, cutting, exploring several transferring techniques, collaging onto drawings, and abstracted washes of acrylic ink over photographic portraits.

Suitable for the novice through to the advanced practitioner.

Your Teacher

Rachael holds a deep fascination for the human condition. Her creative practice, is an ongoing exploration relating to perceptions of identity and selfhood. The fact that identity is created through hidden processes, that we become individuals through metamorphosis, living in a constant state of flux are key concepts crucial to her practice.

Rachael completed a Fine Art degree (Honors) at Whitecliffe in 2021. She currently teaches at Mapura Studios and Lakehouse Arts.
