Voices of Veterans - Canberra Events

Get hands on, mindful and technical with Australian professional figurative artist, Michael Armstrong. Michael is a benevolent figurative artist, painter and art photographer passionate about the human form and humankind. He is a highly trained figurative artist with a passion for creating unique, meaningful and inspiring pieces. Armstrong aims to convey a deep inner emotional expression through his work rather than only describing the external form. He creates emotive allegories based on themes of love, loss, pain, shame and hope. His contemporary works draw on real-life situations, a wealth of literary sources as well as intensely personal, psychological symbolism.Michael has delivered a wide range of arts based tuition, mentoring and small group workshops from his art studios in Canberra since 2017. His new studio, Mandala Studio, and its convenient location and large capacity has allowed him to open up his workshops to a wider audience. Michael's workshops are always designed to support your artistic goals. They are technical and skill development focused to equip participants with the knowledge to continue their own practice after the workshop.
