FOR local artist Alison Tedesco, there is no greater inspiration than the city she lives in.
Tedesco moved from Sydney to Frankston to be closer to her family. Since moving, Frankston has become the subject of her work.
Tedesco’s new exhibition Nothings into Something features interpretations of Frankston’s streets and laneways, the Frankston Mechanics Institute, the Grand Hotel, and more. “I’m proud to live in Frankston and I know its community is, too. This particular avenue of art I hope represents all that Frankston is and what we have come to love about our suburb and surrounds,” she said.
The artworks are painted in watercolour. They are being exhibited at the Frankston Arts Centre’s Curved Wall Gallery. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to have my work seen by a broad section of people. I hope it gives the community a sense of pride to see their surrounds in art – encouraging a sense of inclusiveness and connection,” Tedesco said.
See Nothings into Something at Frankston Arts Centre until 5 November. Artworks are on sale from $280.
