WAUCHOPE CREATIVE HUB HAS A NEW ADDITION! ✦ Welcome Kalido!
W
auchope’s creative co-op welcomes Kalido the koala from the Hello Koala sculpture trail. Wauchope Creative Hub director Stu Doherty is proud to join the Sculpture trail he told us, “the Hello Koala Sculpture Trail is a perfect fit for Wauchope Creative Hub, they showcase the depth of amazing artistic talents on the Mid North Coast and we are all about celebrating locally artists”.
Kalido is designed and created by Wauchope Hub member Francessca O’Donnell Francessca told us Kalido Koala is cousin to PK Sparkles, another amazing Koala creation. His coat is covered in the same quirky performing arts motifs dedicated to the large local community involved in theatre, music, dance and singing, woven into a patchwork of colour.
Artist Biography Francessca has worked locally for over 25 years in the performing arts arena and is also "addicted to mosaic". It was therefore no surprise that the two mosaic sculptures created by Francessca for the Hello Koalas Sculpture Trail - Kalido and PK Sparkles the Performing Koala - were inspired by her desire to recognize the talent of so many young people that have left the region and pursued outstanding careers in the performing arts, both nationally and internationally.
