Ferry Park feature artist for August is Denise Filby, a Clarence Valley resident for over 40 years.

Denise describes her work as, “I have had a love of art and craft from an early age, but only began studying the art of painting ten years ago. I have always been interested in art and crafts, knitting, crochet and making paper beads.

I use a variety of mediums, my favourites being acrylics, water colours, pastels and charcoal. I like to capture the beauty in environment, wildlife and mundane objects and places. Different mediums allow me to express different ideas.

I have won first prize in The Jacaranda Art Exhibition for the last 2 years, I have also won other awards for my art.

I have on display original works in acrylic, watercolour, charcoal and pastels, framed and unframed and original paintings on magnets. Also hand painted vases, soap pumps and cushions, as well as handmade paper bead Jewellery.”
