Bokeh Gallery is located in the heart <strong>of</strong> Daylesford, just 90 minutes from Melbourne. As a<br />
contemporary art space, Bokeh is dedicated to promoting the work <strong>of</strong> <strong>Australian</strong> artists. <strong>The</strong><br />
gallery represents a range <strong>of</strong> media with a strong regional focus and hosts a changing program <strong>of</strong><br />
exhibitions and events. Although we showcase a range <strong>of</strong> artwork, photography continues to be the<br />
mainstay <strong>of</strong> the gallery.<br />
Bokeh Gallery also stocks a range <strong>of</strong> unique, handmade items by contemporary ceramic artists such as<br />
Bridget Bodenham, Megan Puis. Sarah Hudson and Yoko Ozawa. <strong>The</strong>se exquisite, individual pieces not<br />
only stand out from the mass-produced but also contain their own underlying story and intention. Some<br />
<strong>of</strong> Megan Puis' vessels currently at the gallery are inspired by the wetlands <strong>of</strong> <strong>No</strong>rth Queensland and<br />
show tidal watermarks and mangrove roots. Similarly, Bridget Bodenham's Birdy series is inspired by the<br />
surrounding bushland near her studio.<br />
Gallery Director Sonja Rolton aims to <strong>of</strong>fer a space where people can engage with the work as well as<br />
acquire these considered and well-crafted pieces . <strong>The</strong> collections range from stunning sculptural pieces<br />
to functional objects that can be enjoyed and used every day.<br />
