Iridescence will be on show from Friday, November 15 to February 1 at the Bowery Theatre in St Albans.
The exhibition invites viewers to experience the extraordinary within the ordinary, celebrating the beauty found in everyday life.
Emerging Burnside artist Chelsea Avila presents a stunning collection of photographs and paintings that offer fresh perspectives on familiar surroundings.
Inspired by her walks through the neighbourhood, Chelsea’s work spans a variety of subjects from delicate flowers to expansive landscapes.
Each piece encourages viewers to pause and rediscover the world around them, fostering a sense of curiosity and appreciation for the small details often overlooked.
Chelsea draws inspiration from both her daily experiences and her travels to vibrant cities like Istanbul and New Delhi.
Whether capturing the warmth of a sunset during her walks with her dog or the dynamic energy of urban life, her art encapsulates fleeting moments with striking clarity.
Working primarily with gouache and watercolour, she blends impressionistic details with personal memories, creating artworks that resonate on both visual and emotional levels.
Currently pursuing a Diploma of Visual Arts at RMIT University, Chelsea is also expanding her creative practice into digital mediums, including photography.
Once launched, the exhibition will be available for free public viewing Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm, and on Saturday 9am to 12.30pm.
