MEET YOUR FACILITATOR

Based in Rubibi / Broome on Yawuru Country in the East Kimberly of Australia, Alice Boardman is an artist who employs painting, drawing, photography, and more recently glass and found objects, to explore innate human experiences of memory, fragility and connection. Through the experimental process of reclaiming and repurposing, Alice creates stained glass paintings that capture the tenderness and light of rebuilding. Materiality and contrast are key to her practice, nurturing the hard and brittle glass surface to create softness and fluidity in her work. 

Born in Narm on the lands of the Boon Wurrung and Woiwurrung (Wurundjeri) people of the Kulin Nation, Alice holds a Diploma of Arts, Swinburne University of Technology, and Advanced Diploma of Art Therapy. Her professional career has been based in the education, community, youth justice and health service sectors, where she has worked with people using art for expression and wellbeing.
