I am delighted to announce that from the 11 February to the 21 May 2023, I will be 'in residence' in Botany Bay with a super-sized art exhibition, and an exciting program of education and events.

La Perouse Museum and Randwick Council (NSW) have invited me to exhibit Marine Dream in Botany Bay at The Bayview Gallery as solo exhibition. I will also deliver my innovative creativity and art workshops and as well as engage community through conservation-focused activities.

This exhibition is actually the first professional show by invitation and a 'very big deal' for me.

 ABOUT BOTANY BAY ANIMALS ON THE SHORE OF THE BAY

Botany Bay's ocean animals will come to life just steps away from the shoreline at the historic La Perouse Museum. It would be a dream to see all of these animals in one dive - hence the inspiration for this expanded exhibition. 

The Bayview Gallery windows overlook Botany Bay and out across popular dive spots of Bare Island on the western side and across to Kamay Bay National Park, Kurnell on the eastern shore.  It's the perfect location for this show. 

As an emerging artist (3 years in), it is an honour to be acknowledged and invited for a solo exhibition. Accepting this opportunity was logical choice.

In true Sue Liu style, I've expanded the activities beyond the gallery space and will be engaging in teaching workshops on creativity via Randwick Library, and teaching my first Illustration and marine discovery workshops alongside my animals in the gallery. 

ABOUT THE WORKS ON EXHIBIT
Visitors to the gallery and exhibition will submerge for a virtual dive and discover of some very unusual native Australian marine animals they've never seen before. The feature artwork, Marine Dream in Botany Bay II, is 70% bigger than the original piece and it will hang alongside 50+ original illustrations framed. Some of those works are still being created. 

There will also be a conservation display and at times, I'll be bringing a selection of Wildcard-Sue products in an exclusive market. If time, I will also draw live. 

So, come along, particularly when I'm 'in residence' (dates are below) and you can also purchase Wildcard-Sue goodies at the same time.

Don't forget to take your free postcard, activity sheet and
sign the guest book!
