ABORIGINAL ART
An art curator, Botanical artist and speaker on Australian Aboriginal art and culture, Jude Mayall has a lifetime of being involved in art both creatively and in day-to-day gallery management.
Jude has more than 20 years involvement in Australian Aboriginal art. She was a regular speaker on Understanding Aboriginal Art at the Centre of Adult Education for Victoria before moving to Queensland on the Sunshine Coast.
Many art lovers throughout the world are interested and fascinated how Australia s indigenous people and the paintings of this ancient civilisation have become a worldwide art movement. Jude has undertaken many speaking engagements throughout Australia and overseas. Often her speaking engagements accompany an exhibition of artworks.
She has curated exhibitions in Australia, the United States, Europe and Canada. Amongst those, an exhibition of Aboriginal art and sculpture featured in complimenting a new range of Outback Furniture in Australian timber for an American manufacturer, Kimbal Furniture, North Carolina, USA. She is a Special Interest and Destination speaker on the cruise ships touring the Pacific.
An exhibition depicting Australian native plants in Melbourne for Parks Victoria showcased some of Australia s finest Botanical artists.
Jude, herself, is an accomplished Botanical Artist was for 2 years artist-in-residence with Parks Victoria, Australia
Her informal talks on Aboriginal art and culture, her depth of knowledge and extensive experience, combine with many stories; sometimes tragic sometimes very funny, will help all those present understand and appreciate more the true spirit of Australia through its indigenous people and their art. |
OUTBACK CHEF
During Jude's involvement in Aboriginal art and craft she learned a lot about bush tucker and bush food from the Aboriginal women who taught her through their vibrant and colourful paintings. These paintings not only increased her knowledge, but also fuelled a desire to go further with Australia's native bush food..…OUTBACK CHEF has been a natural and passionate progression.
Jude is originally from the land in country Victoria, she grew up with a love for art, food and cooking. Her mother was an innovative cook and taught her the traditional methods of food preparation, but encouraged experimentation where the good, the bad and the downright unedible can happen!!!
Jude studied the art of confectionery making in Sollingen, Germany and ran her own business in Melbourne, Maisie's Chocolates. She also made and decorated wedding and celebration cakes. She is now busy using those skills to start creating a lot of interesting bush food recipes that will start appearing on site in 2010.
