Barb Venn has been a Grampians
local for about twenty years. In that time she has bore witness to the
shifting of the natural landscape to its extremes. Significantly, her
work has proven to be something of a record of natural events for
local and regional collectors.
Having studied art and outdoor
education at LaTrobe University, she moved to the Grampians for
outdoor education work, but soon took advantage of the wide range of
patterns, textures, and colours provided by the Grampians
environment.
Barb uses a wide range of media
to confidently express herself and her ideas, including but certainly
not limited to: ink on silk, ceramics, felt, mosaic, and found object
assemblage.
Barb teaches VCE art and textiles.
