Kaye creates a "Baker's Mixed Dozen"




Kaye creates a “Baker’s Mixed Dozen”



Always the searcher, Colour City Artist, Kaye Partridge has 'played around' with oils and watercolours for years.

In preparation for CCC's Wine Week's art exhibition the “Mixed Dozen” Kaye has produced her 'Baker's Mixed Dozen'.

“When starting out on this art work, I endeavoured to include 12 wine bottles in various shapes and sizes,” Kaye said.

Kaye continued, “after abstracting the original design, it became difficult to keep an accurate count of number of bottles. Finally it became apparent there were 13 bottles (I think) ....... thus the title ... Baker’s Mixed Dozen!!
 

To see Kaye and other CCC's 'Mixed Dozen' creations

Lanny Mackenzie, one of "The Mixed Dozen"!



Colour City Creative is graced with several talent immigrants, one of whom is the ever smiling Lanny Mackenzie.
 Lanny grew up in Java and Bali Indonesia. She was surrounded from a young age by the art of her father’s impressionist paintings and her grand father’s Chinese Calligraphy.

With vibrant colours blazing from her family's walls she took up, in 2002, the task of learning basketry and sculptural weaving. Using naturally forage materials and recycled every day items, Lanny's works create functional baskets, weaving with her own experimental twists producing a modern 'look'.

Over the years Lanny learned her craft under the toutalage of several master weavers. She now willingly shares this passion and knowledge with others through her popular weaving workshops, all over Australia and overseas.

Lanny says “Weaving is a very forgiving form of art, cultivating creative thinking and problem solving, and encourage individual self-expression resulting in satisfaction in creating something unique and part of own personal journey and culture”.

Lanny's creations are in private collections and selected galleries in NSW and Bali.
