BYRON BAY 15 – 19 NOVEMBER 2011
VENUE: COORABEL HALL non residential MASTER CLASS With BERNARD OLLIS
This 5 day Master Class is a golden opportunity to review your artistic and aesthetic goals, and refine the creative process you engage to make art.
In a supportive environment you will encounter and transcend outdated approaches, opening to new concepts and directions for your work and practice.
In group seminars and individual tutorials you will receive guidance, critique and feedback from selected work you have brought in, exploring technique as well as the relationship to your work and audience…. resulting in a clarified sense of yourself as an artist with focus, intent and creative goals to strive for.
Born in Bath, England, Ollis is a graduate of Cardiff College of Art and Design in Wales. He received his Master of Art (Painting) from the Royal College of Art, London before moving to Australia in 1976.

With 50 solo exhibitions since 1972 including the Macquarie Gallery in Sydney, Powell Street Gallery, Melbourne and more recently NG Gallery, Australian Galleries, Michael Nagy Fine Art and Stella Downer Galleries in Sydney, Bernard Ollis is a well established Australian painter.
A multiple finalist in the Sulman Prize at the Art Gallery of NSW, The Moran Portrait Prize and The Dobell Drawing Prize, Bernard has also participated in many group exhibitions throughout Australia.
