Kirsty Leishman - Three Churches
Tetrapak etching on rice paper

I noticed recently that the places I receive support and express my creativity at are all former churches: Communify, Bardon; Wesley Arts, AFTM; and the Queensland Spinners Weavers and Fibre Artists, Auchenflower.
About the Artist
Kirsty Leishman borrowed a book on drawing from the library after she participated in an arts therapy group, wanting to acquire more skills to adequately express herself. Since that time she has embraced opportunities to partake in creative communities and practices, discovering an affinity for coiled raffia weaving, ceramics, and block printing. Her work often brings these media together in contemplations on the details of the natural environment. She holds an M.Phil in Cultural Studies.
