Artist Talk & Collaborative Art Session with Olivia Bevan

Join artist Olivia Bevan at Sol Creative for a short artist talk exploring her current exhibition of large-scale paintings, which investigate landscape as a process shaped by time, material change, memory and our subjective experiences of place.

Following the talk, take part in a relaxed, hands-on creative session using drawing, painting and
collage. Together, we’ll experiment with marks, colours, textures and fragments to create a
collaborative artwork inspired by our own memories, interpretations and experiences of
landscape. No previous art experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to explore!

Friday 13 November, 6:30 - 8 pm
