'Harmonious Storm'
Lynda Dingley
Lynda's solo exhibition coincides with International Day of People with Disability
Open Thu - Sun, 11am - 4pm
Exhibition launch Saturday 30 November, 3.30pm
Award-winning artist Lynda Dingley works in acrylics on canvas, watercolours and inks on paper. Her work blends Indigenous art and realistic painting, featuring memories and dream-like themes.
She says the title of her latest exhibition Harmonious Storm expresses something of two major influences which add expression to her work – her First Nations heritage and relationship with the land, and perspective shaped by 15 years living in a wheelchair.
“Just as the land transforms through cycles of erosion, growth and reshaping, life in a wheelchair brings its own adaptive journey,” Lynda says.
“Navigating the world in a wheelchair involves adapting to different terrains and embracing resilience. Both the land and the journey in a wheelchair share a story of constant change and strength, finding harmony amid the storm.”
Lynda says art has helped give her a voice and a means of expressing herself in a world which too often overlooks people living with disability.
As a vocal advocate for disability rights and representation in the art world she has become an inspiring role model.
