Mon-Fri\, 10am-4pmArtist Talk: April 20\, 11.30am\n\n\n\nCassi-Jo Davis is a textile artist from Bridgetown whose work explores the feminine connection to nature through personal stories and challenges faced by historical and contemporary women. She is fascinated with ancient folklore stories and symbolism of the feminine throughout history and from different cultures. She is inspired by Religious & Spiritual Art\, Art Nouveau\, Japanese Art\, the Pre-Raphaelites and Figurative artists. Cassi creates layered\, richly coloured and textured works using antique and recycled textiles\, paint and embroidery to create wall and wearable art that speak to the viewer on a deeply felt level.  \n\n\n\nMiranda Free is a representational painter from Nannup who usually works in oils but has a deep interest in learning and experimenting with a variety of media. Launching into a body of work featuring legendary women and goddesses important to the arts\, she is inspired by the work of Margaret Macdonald Mackintosh\, a member of the Art Nouveau group the ‘Glasgow Four’. Several of these works feature techniques pioneered by Mackintosh that involve using traditional gesso\, egg tempera and are embellished with semi-precious stones\, beads and shell. She is also including Art Nouveau inspired stained glass works and oil paintings typical of her usual practice\, in this exhibition. \n\n\n\nCassi’s and Miranda’s works resonate due to their shared inspirations and interest in highly patterned and floral surfaces. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrint\n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email URL:https://artsmargaretriver.com/event/women-art-myths-legends-and-goddesses/2026-04-24/ LOCATION:Nala Bardip Mia – Margaret River HEART\, 47 Wallcliffe Road\, Margaret River\, WA\, 6285\, Australia CATEGORIES:Foyer,Free,Visual Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artsmargaretriver.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Goddess-of-the-Oak-2025-Textiles-acrylic-freehand-embroidery.jpg GEO:-33.954447;115.067953 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Nala Bardip Mia – Margaret River HEART 47 Wallcliffe Road Margaret River WA 6285 Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=47 Wallcliffe Road:geo:115.067953,-33.954447 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20260410T110000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20260410T150000 DTSTAMP:20260507T211913 CREATED:20260218T075814Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260226T041547Z UID:10021793-1775818800-1775833200@artsmargaretriver.com SUMMARY:Miniature Workshop DESCRIPTION:With Victoria Robertson\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome and create your very own miniature setting\, also called a box room or shadow box\, under the expert guidance of miniaturist Victoria Robertson. \n\n\n\nChoose between an ocean/ garden/ forest scenery or an indoor setting\, and be prepared to let your imagination flow! \n\n\n\nBYO lunch/ snacks/ drinks; short break around 12.30pm.

Mon-Fri. 10am-4pm\n\n\n\nBorn and raised in Amsterdam during the 60’s\, 70’s and 80’s in a highly artistic family\, I now live and work in the beautiful Southwest of WA. Blessed with the creative genes inherited from my Dutch graphic designer dad and my Australian illustrator/ artist mum\, I have made art for as long as I can remember. \n\n\n\nIn this exhibition I have highlighted some moments\, events and periods of time in my life that have made a deep impression and which have modelled me into who I am now. Having recently been diagnosed with ASD\, I look back on my extraordinary and fairly eccentric childhood and beyond\, and recognise how autism shaped my experiences; furthermore\, I have come to realise that my whole family of origin was living on the spectrum. \n\n\n\nIt is only in hindsight that we can hope to make some sense of the path that our life’s journey has taken up to this point. By working on these miniature settings\, I have aimed to bring some order in my life’s experiences and memories\, and to further understand what has been my underlying drive. The contrasts in the various moods of the pieces are a reflection of my bipolarity\, and provide the stark counterpoints that have influenced my life. \n\n\n\nI hope that observers of my work will find some aspects that resonate with them and help them to reflect on their own lives. \n\n\n\nArtist in Residence\n\n\n\nVictoria will be in residence every Monday\, Thursday and Friday 10am – 4pm. Excluding public holidays (when it will change to Tuesday/Thursday/Friday) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPrint\n Print (Opens in new window)\n Print\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email URL:https://artsmargaretriver.com/event/my-life-in-miniature/2026-04-10/ LOCATION:Nala Bardip Mia – Margaret River HEART\, 47 Wallcliffe Road\, Margaret River\, WA\, 6285\, Australia CATEGORIES:Free,Mezzanine,Visual Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artsmargaretriver.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/1000007685-hero.jpg GEO:-33.954447;115.067953 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Nala Bardip Mia – Margaret River HEART 47 Wallcliffe Road Margaret River WA 6285 Australia;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=47 Wallcliffe Road:geo:115.067953,-33.954447 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Australia/Perth:20260408T110000 DTEND;TZID=Australia/Perth:20260408T150000 DTSTAMP:20260507T211913 CREATED:20260218T074725Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260226T041607Z UID:10021792-1775646000-1775660400@artsmargaretriver.com SUMMARY:Miniature Workshop DESCRIPTION:With Victoria Robertson\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCome and create your very own miniature setting\, also called a box room or shadow box\, under the expert guidance of miniaturist Victoria Robertson. \n\n\n\nChoose between an ocean/ garden/ forest scenery or an indoor setting\, and be prepared to let your imagination flow! \n\n\n\nBYO lunch/ snacks/ drinks; short break around 12.30pm.
