Deb will be joined by Sue Wright from Tiny Owl Workshop, who will share how she left a career in civil service to become an unsung hero of Australian art book publishing, supporting independent artists to create award-winning publications. Copies of a sketchbook practice will be available to purchase on the night.

About Deb Mostert: Deb Mostert's three-decade-long practice is grounded in observational drawing, but also spans painting, sculpture and public art, to investigate objects as metaphors, collections as carriers of our stories and museums as repositories of our collective archives. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Art from the Queensland College of Art & Design and has exhibited in solo and group exhibitions through Australia. A multi-award winning artist, she has been included in major art prizes such as the Eutick Memorial Still Life Award, the Bale Painting Prize, the Archibald/Wynne Prize Salon de Refuses, Jacaranda Drawing Prize, and the Marie Ellis Prize for Drawing.
