Twenty-five artists from Daylesford and the Macedon Ranges are banding together to showcase the region’s artistic talent over the next three weekends.

The artists will invite the public into their studios in unison for the sixth annual Daylesford Macedon Ranges Open Studios program.

Mosaic artist Kathryn Portelli is looking forward to welcoming guests into her Pipers Creek studio.

Portelli has been working with mosaics for 18 years, and has contributed a number of public art projects to the Macedon Ranges.

She is responsible for the Black Saturday mural at Kyneton Town Hall and murals at Lady Brooks Kindergarten, Sacred Heart Secondary College, Our Lady of the Rosary Primary School, Gisborne Primary School and Newham Primary School.

Visitors to her studio will be able to see demonstrations of her technique and the smaller mosaic pieces and wearable art she will have on sale.

Other art mediums involved in the program will include paint, sculpture, ceramics, print and drawing.

The Daylesford Macedon Ranges Open Studios program continues on April 28-29 and May 5-6.
