Presentation by Colin G Smith Sunlight and Storm – The Life and Art of Penleigh Boyd
Colin G. Smith has researched and written about the artistic dynasty of the Boyd family for over thirty years. He befriended artist and ceramicist Lucy Boyd Beck in the 1990’s, whilst interviewing her as part of his research into her ceramicist and sculptor father, Merric Boyd. This book was ‘Merric Boyd and Murrumbeena’. He later produced the book ‘Lucy Boyd Beck – Life and Art’. ‘Sunlight and Storm – The Life and Art of Penleigh Boyd’ is his third book on the Boyd family.
Penleigh and his artist wife Edith, built their house the ‘Robins’ on Kangaroo-Ground Road which still stands and is a home for a Warrandyte family.
All are welcome to come along to listen to Colin Smith presenting a talk on the life and work of Penleigh Boyd and discover the wonderful art of Penleigh Boyd and his paintings of Warrandyte, some of which hang in the NGV and NGA.
