Garry Purchase Art & Workshops

Garry is a proud Aboriginal man of Dharawal, Bidjigal and Dhungutti descent living on the Central Coast. 

Garry has always had a creative passion and was a musician for many years playing drums in a few Sydney rock bands. He played 100's shows in the 90's and 2000's on the Sydney scene.

Artistically, he first started painting after he moved to the Central Coast with his wife and 3 sons in 2013.

His style is a more modern take on traditional Aboriginal art, steering away from the common dreamtime stories and focusing on his own personal journey, experiences and social issues that pushes a lot of creative boundaries as he stretches the limits of what Aboriginal art can be.

Garry has exhibitions through the coast and his work is available to buy online.

He also runs workshops throughout the year including:

• In-person Workshop with the Artist Garry Purchase
• Preschool and Primary School Workshops
• An Introduction to Aboriginal Art Workshop
• Dance and Movement Workshop (4 years - Primary ages)
• An Evening with the Artist Session (adults)
• Virtual Workshops with Garry Purchase
