Flora Bowley, internationally celebrated painter, teacher, author and inspirationalist will be with us for one night only at Readings St Kilda, talking about her new book Brave Intuitive Painting.

Her vibrant paintings can be found in numerous galleries, on album covers and in public spaces around the world. Flora Bowley's fun and forgiving approach to painting is based on the notion that, 'You don't begin with a preconceived painting in mind; you allow the painting to unfold'. Illustrating how to work in layers, Flora gives you the freedom to cover up, re-start, wipe away, and change courses many times along the way.

This is a free event, but bookings essential on 9525 3852.
