Artists on Show

St Hilda’s is proud to support local artists through our Artists on Show exhibition.

Over the last 18 months, the School has proudly exhibited local artists in our Senior School reception. These paintings showcase the wealth of talent in our community and provide an avenue for the artists to display their work. The best part is, they are available for sale and a percentage of all sales from the exhibition will go towards the development of the Arts at St Hilda’s.

This semester we are delighted to welcome Fleur Marron (1996) as our feature artist for Artists on Show.

Fleur Marron is an Old Scholar and visual artist based in North Fremantle. With a professional background in energy science, messages of conservation and sustainability continue to inform her work in the visual arts. Fleur’s paintings and sculptural installations focus on the nuances of the natural environment and human behaviours within it.

If you would like to book a private viewing of Fleur’s work, please contact our Head of Philanthropy to arrange a convenient time.

UPON REFLECTION

Fleur has a deep emotional connection to her environment. It is within the landscape, she connects to her reflection; recognising how to value herself beyond the roles she had been accustomed, and reconnecting with her authentic identity. The vast landscapes and skyscapes of Western Australia are a continuous source of inspiration, reflection, and perspective for the artist, and foster her connection to the greater universe.
