Salmon Galleries is proud to present My Brush Dances Like Me.

Please scroll down for detailed images.

For over 70 years, St Lucy’s School in Wahroonga has been providing excellence in education for children with disabilities. My Brush Dances Like Me opens a window onto the unique learning experiences of these children.

The children of St Lucy’s enjoy the special benefits of a radical and innovative creative arts program that highlights the value and richness of difference.

The paintings in this exhibition are collaborative works made by the children in their visual arts classes. They are vibrant and joyful explosions of colour that mirror the children’s excitement in the creative process. Guided by Crows Nest artist, Karen Atkins, the children have produced a collection that is beautiful and exhilarating.

The St Lucy’s community is currently raising funds to build a new Creative Arts Centre. My Brush Dances Like Me is the beginning of the St Lucy’s Permanent Art Collection and will ultimately be housed in the Centre’s new gallery space.


Jenny Sages, Patron of the Collection, and the children of the St Lucy’s School are asking creative arts enthusiasts to become Custodians of the paintings in this exhibition. Visitors to Salmon Galleries and/or the website, are invited to select a painting of their choice and make a donation towards its inclusion in the Permanent Collection.

A publication called My Brush Dances Like Me is planned for 2007. It will feature paintings from the exhibition, the children who produced them and the Collection’s custodians. All donations will be directed towards the building of the new Creative Arts Centre and are fully tax-deductible.

There are more paintings to view at the gallery. However if you are interested, and can not make it to the gallery, please contact us and we will be pleased to email you a copy of the images. For further information, please enquire at Salmon Galleries.
