18.01.2022 Cultivate Exhibition Artist Spotlight: Patrice Cooke. "Living in the NSW Southern Highlands, the roll of the seasons is marked by distinct changes in animal and plant life. In the design, pattern and structure linking all life forms, I find unlimited inspiration. My hand built sculptural works in clay are based on observations from nature." See Patrice's beautiful sculptures at Cultivate in The Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney. www.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cultivate
