Sarah Kalidis

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I would like to acknowledge a member of my community for significant contributions to the art sector, Mrs Sarah Kalidis of Connells Point. Sarah recently was selected to participate in 'The Other Art Fair' Sydney, taking place on the 12th to the 15th of October at the Cutaway, Barangaroo. 'The Other Art Fair' is a space for independent artists to come together and exhibit their work. Sarah draws inspiration from the natural landscape around her, using colour and texture to create unique portraits of native Australian flora. Her design process is certainly experimental, using acrylic and watercolour to compose original and organic pieces. Local artists contribute to a web of diverse talent in my local area. From painters, to musicians, to actors, every artist in my community brings a unique perspective and artistic style. We are fortunate to have an array of talented artists right across the St George region. I would like to congratulate Sarah and wish her all the best over the coming years. I look forward to seeing how her artistic style continues to evolve.
