Artist: Donna Feneley

Tempest Tapestry provides a glimpse into our wild and turbulent terrain, firstly transporting audiences to distant planes then demanding they be present, still and alone within her landscapes. Feneley's works often play on light, from looming skies to dark compositions enlivened by blazes or glimmers of sun to brighter, imagined places that are whimsical and even magical.

We will be joined by guest musicians Paul Bennett, Eddie Bronson and Penny Cook on the night!

Paul Bennett

​

Paul has been playing his grandfather's (Roth 1925) violin since the age of eleven through every genre, classical, blues, country, folk, Gypsy and cool jazz and now performs as an exciting solo jazz violinist and vocalist, pushing the boundaries in his home suburb of Lane Cove.

Paul was a founding member of the folk blues fusion band The Road Captains for the past ten years, where he honed his skills as an accomplished instrumentalist. Cool jazz is his genre now with an extensive repertoire of classic jazz standards, played with sensitivity and style.
