Council Street Life Drawing

@councilstreetlifedrawing

​

I launched Council Street Life Drawing (CSLD) in 2019 whilst working from my home studio in Clifton Hill. Having always wanted to pose myself but finding it difficult to find fun, judgement-free spaces to start, I set out to create a welcoming space for first-time models and those who would felt nervous attending a formal art class. The sessions focus on exploring individual styles, and guiding relaxed, humorous conversations between life model and participants to promote body, sex and gender positivity.

 

I aim to make CSLD a space where people feel as if they’ve walked into a friend's house, and can leave behind all perceptions of rigid art classes, showing that art can be accessible to everyone. I currently host weekly sessions from my studios, Nabe Studios in Kensington.

​

Head to the CSLD Instagram to stay up to date with session dates and info. Website coming soon.

I respectfully acknowledge the Arrernte people of Mparntwe, the traditional custodians of the land on which I live, create art, work and engage. I pay my respects to Elders past and present, as well as to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the wider Central Desert and Northern Territory communities and beyond. Indigenous sovereignty has never been ceded.

 

I acknowledge the important role that storytelling and community has played on these lands for thousands of years and feel privileged to work alongside communities continuing the creative practice of the oldest surviving culture in the world.
