The Artist as Conveyor of Life exhibition showcases works by five of The Central Art Gallery’s accomplished artists: Bing Dawe, Chauncey Flay, Veronica Herber, Jon Jeet, and Elizabeth Thomson.
Informing each artist’s practice is their own set of values, personal belief systems, and individual understanding of the world around them. As naturalist; environmentalist; mathematician; gentle activist; and scientist, this group of artists creatively communicate ideas; beliefs; observations; and knowledge—of life—through their art.
