ARTIST FINDS PEACE IN SELF EXPRESSION
AYR artist Elise Higginson has opened a new art space in town where she hopes to run classes and workshops to cater for young people and adults with mental and physical disabilities.
Ms Higginson’s business, Dynamic Abstract Arts, can now be found outside Burdekin Centrepoint on Queen St, where customers can view her artwork, which is available to buy.
“It’s all about colour combinations,” she said of her work.
“It’s a bit like experimentation – there is nothing wrong or right with abstract art, you have to have the composition and it has to look balanced.
“At the end of the day, abstract art is a way of expressing yourself and there is no wrong way of taking it as long as you have emotion to it.” Ms Higginson said she felt like a child again, without any worries, when she created her art.
“I feel like a lot of adults get very worried about the world around them, and abstract art is a good way to forget what society thinks of you and express yourself without caring about the outcome,” she said.
“I want this to be a multi-function space, I want to have people to collaborate with and also want to host live music events, exhibitions and workshops.
“I will also be setting up walk-in mini art classes for parents with kids that will give parents a chance to have a coffee.”
