‘Seeing the Light’

by Maggie Millar

The exhibition will be officially opened by Maggie’s brother Geoff Barrett (a former headmaster of Kyneton Secondary College)

This has two meanings for me: the light and its importance in painting, and in finally doing what I think I should have been doing all my life!! I get such joy from transforming the separate elements of colour in paint pastel or ink, on paper, canvas or board into an image. It’s like a miracle, and such fun! In fact I haven’t had so much fun since kindergarten! I think that’s when I first fell in love with colour: I still remember the bright shiny squares of coloured paper we cut out and made into pictures. I was always drawing at school, loved art class, but was not encouraged to go to art school by my adoptive parents. When I connected with my original family, I discovered three people with artistic talent: my mother, my sister and a cousin I’ve yet to meet. So it’s in my blood. I often wonder what kind of work I’d be doing if I’d been encouraged when I was young, but I’m so glad I’ve finally seen the light! So is my glass half empty or half full? Actually it’s BOTH !!

Terence started training in Fine arts at University of East London as a

mature aged student, spending as much time as he could viewing the

great and modern masters which opened his eyes and many

doors to learn about art history and painting skills that aided

exhibiting his own work as a student.

Printmaking in its many forms has been a great part of his creative life

which included printing on clay pots and plates. As part of his degree

he did garden sculpture for the university garden in East Ham.

“The aim is to explore creative issues that catch my eye and other

important matters like the environment, global warming and the

human footprint and existence on this earth.”
