Arts Consultant Paula Silbert very generously gave up her day last Monday to mentor, curate and learn as much as possible about my art practice so she can open our exhibition at Ellenbrook with knowledge of both Ernst and my art practice. What a absolute joy and delight this woman is! Her wise life philosophy and empathy I'll treasure for many years to come. I met Paula when I experienced a series of her workshops a few years ago and it is because of Paula I was able to propel myself into the art world. Amazing woman. #thankgod #cityofmandurah #westernaustralianartist #artistinresidence2017 #paulasilbert #paulasilbertartconsultancy #artprimer #theartprimer #ellenbrook #ellenbrookart #ellenbrookgallery #cityofswan #cityofmandurah #artist #artwork #artlife #artexhibition #artopening #perth #ernstschneider #painting #sculpture #wise #curator
