Date Time Sharon De Valentin harnesses elements in fire and Wax Local artist, Sharon De Valentin is showing her latest exhibition Fire and Wax at ArtSpace at Griffith Regional Theatre during April and May. The exhibition explores the relationship between nature and our man made environment. The paintings reflect landscapes, farming and botanicals using the ancient art form of encaustic, which Ms De Valentin uses in both painting and sculpture. Ms De Valentin said, “The sculptural vessels on display have a unique Australian heritage, as the nuts and seeds used in many of the works have been collected throughout Australia over many years and were gifted to me.”
