Artists share creative journey

Altona’s Louis Joel Gallery has another exhibition that art lovers from the inner-west and beyond can indulge.

Three Artists, One Journey features the work of Amanda Neville, Ilona Herreiner and and Juan Vasquez who are all based at the Altona Artisans ceramic studio at the Louis Joel Arts and Community (LJAC) centre.

Beginning on April 26, the exhibition will run through until May 14 and features ceramics, mosaics, wood, and clay sculptures that explore the shared creative journey of three artists shaping raw materials into expressive forms.

Neville’s intricate mosaics piece together colour and texture, telling stories through fragments, while Vasquez’s ceramics celebrate the fluidity and strength of clay, capturing both tradition and innovation.

Herreiner’s sculptures, crafted from wood and clay, speak of transformation and organic movement.

Though working in different mediums, each artist shares a deep connection to process, material, and storytelling.

Their hands shape, carve, and construct, bridging past and present, form and emotion.

The exhibition allows patrons to experience this dialogue, where art becomes a reflection of touch, time, and vision.

The Louis Joel Gallery is located within the LJAC centre and is open from 9.30am – 4.30pm Tuesday – Friday, and from 11am – 2pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Three Artists, One Journey closes at 3pm on Thursday, May 14.
