PENINSULA artist Michael Leeworthy has been involved in the local art scene for many years, but a highlight of his journey occurred last week with a visit from Queensland artist Lynda Page Bickley.
“I was beside myself when I was informed that Lynda, a proud Koori woman, had won a grant to work with me,” said Leeworthy. “Although I have mentored many students before, this came as a complete surprise”.
Bickley studied with Leeworthy for ten days. “I love showing off our beautiful peninsula, but ten days is not enough to take it all in,” said Leeworthy.
