GREAT INITIATIVE ~ 'Love Local Connect and Create' series launched.

Following the success of the Love Local campaign, BMCC has just released a brand new online series which showcases the work of local artists and chefs.

Love Local Connect and Create: Artists features the work of local artists such as Eloise Short, whose beautiful illustrations feature in the Blue Mountains themed children’s book series, Leonard and Lilah the Lyrebird.

Other artists showcased in the series include Alison James, Fiona Loeb, Hannah Surtees, Lauren Gero, Meredith Mallin and Lorraine Brownlee who have all provided a wide range of activities which both kids and adults can do from home. The activities range from intricate colouring in sheets, to instructions on how to paint rocks, flowers and sticks, or how to make a koala mobile.

BMCC spokesperson, Cr Mark Greenhill, said: “As we begin to emerge from the extended lockdown, and the home-schooling period comes to an end, Council is providing a range of activities to support local families and provide fun alternatives to screen-time.

“The Love Local Connect and Create series encourages local residents to participate in a range of art, craft and cooking activities.”

Love Local Connect and Create: Recipes gives local residents access to sumptuous, bespoke recipes from some of the Blue Mountains’ best loved chefs and restaurants. Restaurants featured in the series include the newly opened Pizza Sublime Leura, Vincent Diner in Glenbrook, The Parade Espresso Bar & Food Emporium in Hazelbrook, Arrana in Springwood and Nook in Blaxland.

Recipes gifted to the community from these businesses include dishes like sun-dried tomato arancini, smoked beetroot, goats cheese mousse, pistachio ‘soil’ and lavosh as well as roman style proscuitto pizza.

It is in this way she shares her vision of how she perceives those simple, mundane, ugly & unexpected things that may be viewed to be beautiful or, at the very least, engaging.

MARTIN GARIBAY – Painter  
I paint because I have no other choice if I want my life to have a purpose. This is a recent discovery for me, a very happy one.  As a painter, I like to create paintings with a soul, so connections between a painting and the observer can be made, and emotions can be conveyed. I enjoy the goodness in the world and I don’t enjoy the pain in it but I know that beauty can be found even amongst ugly and painful things, it’s about perspective.

 USHA SINGH – Painter
  My art is a journey from Darkness to Light. Tracing every ray of light with strokes of colour on a canvas as it comes to life. I pay close attention to detail in the way colour fills up a place or a subject to create a realistic rendition. I paint to capture the fleeting magic of illuminated space. I find inspiration in wilderness and heritage structures and still life alike often capturing an illuminated perspective that has ruminated and emerged from my creative subconscious. Through my work, I want to transpose viewers into the scene and have an emotive experience. To feel what it’s like to be inside a painting and interact with its characters.
