About Your Hustler: Garry Purchase
Garry is a proud Aboriginal man of Dharawal, Bidjigal and Dhungutti descent.
He grew up in Sydney’s Eastern suburbs in Botany and was raised amongst the Aboriginal community of La Perouse, and is a member of the Timbery family of which there are many famous members.
His artistic style is a more modern take on traditional Aboriginal art, steering away from the common dreamtime stories and focusing on his own personal journey, experiences and social issues that pushes a lot of creative boundaries as he stretches the limits of what Aboriginal art can be.
His painting “The Journey” won both the Aboriginal Health award and the People’s Choice award at Mental Health Art Works! 2014 and he also won the Aboriginal Health award again in 2016 with “Missing Pieces” and in 2017 with his piece “Tribal Blood”.
$75 per person including all supplies. BYO drink of choice.
Once purchased, your ticket reserves your space in the workshop.
Tickets are non-refundable but you may pass them onto friends/family if you’re unable to attend.
