CREATIVELY CONNECTING THE PIECES

- ANNE JANELLE DICKMAN Follow @facesofthe­goldcoast for more local stories.

ART breathes art. Inspiratio­n fuels inspiratio­n and the buzz of imaginatio­n is bound to strike anyone in its path.

Such was our experience when we met this creative soul, Tania Blanchard, and saw her passion for colour and texture:

“I have a purpose-built studio out the back of my property, so this is where I create.

“I am on the lookout for a new gallery but I’m really enjoying working from home at the moment with my teenage kids nearby.

“I’ve actually been commission­ed to produce three large-scale works that will hang in the foyer of a new art residence overlookin­g the vibrant Gold Coast arts hub HOTA.

“The pieces will depict what it means to be an integral part of this community through subdued colours and a feeling of connection.

“I’m so honoured to be part of this project.

“Some of my earlier pieces were featured on The Block a few years back and that helped me gain initial exposure.

“Through Instagram and also via my website I’ve commission­ed works to places around the world so I feel grateful

for loyal followers.

“The future? I am planning another solo exhibition shortly so that’s really exciting.”
