These five artists have produced a body of work that explores personal transitions, both artistically and emotionally, and ultimately questions where each is going.

Artist Talk.
Creativity in Confined Spaces with Peteris Ciemitis.
Creative activity is often regarded as the outcome of unfettered, free thinking, but Penumbra artist, Peteris Ciemitis argues that sometimes interesting new directions occur when we find ourselves trapped in a corner. Creativity in Confined Spaces deals with some of these instances through a series of images, and also presents a snapshot of Ciemitis‚ own creative process.

Mia Laing @ Suburban Table

Event Title: In Celebration of Domestic Joy.
Participating Artists: Mia Laing.

Venue:
Suburban Table,
622 Stirling Highway Mosman Park 6011.

Description: After many years of pursuing a career in 'Children's Illustration', Mia initially turned to canvas painting as a means of de-stressing from the demands of the illustration field, and to try a medium that was more fluid and forgiving than pen and gouache. She knew immediately that she had found a new passion.

Mia's love of photography, of capturing light and life, helps her to freeze moments into a photograph, which she then uses to paint from. Mia enjoys many genres of oil painting, including portraiture, still life and landscape. Mia finds real joy in setting up a still life and playing around with it until she finds the perfect light and composition. She believes her still life painting's are a celebration of domestic joy… a full fruit bowl, a bunch of cheerful flowers. Her life portraits, depict children, pets and families, captured in natural, unposed moments. Her paintings are always a celebration of joy and the beauty of life.

Mia started working her art as a career just last year. In 2012, Mia entered 4 art prizes and had a win in two of these, which is a great accomplishment. Mia won the 'People's Choice Award' at the Mosman Park Art Awards in 2012, for her painting of 3 children playing on a jetty, titled "Look Before You Leap". She also won the 'Animal Art Awards' held at the Perth Art Expo in 2012. Her winning painting, "Girl's Best Friend" depicts the love of a child for her dog.

Mia writes weekly about her "Life at the end of a paintbrush" on her blog/website and Facebook art page - mymiasart.com, where you can also view her gallery.
