My artwork is made from recycled materials which is an important ethos of rural life. Our forebears believed in repurposing and recycling, and this continues to this day in the country. Once upon a time, we only saw trees and bushland dotted along the rural horizon. However, nowadays enormous wind turbines tower above the trees, overshadowing the natural bushland, glinting menacingly in the early morning sunlight while the trees bleed. Is this progress?
About the artist
Coming from an artistic family, it seemed natural for Shirley Makin to pick up a paint brush as well. As a child, and intermittently during adulthood, Makin enjoyed dabbling in various mediums. She has taken up painting more consistently in recent years. Makin is still pursuing her own style, but likes to try new and interesting forms of art.
