Fine Art TV Series - Colour In Your Life
Season - 18
Episode - 02
Filmed on Location at - Gippsland, Victoria, Australia
David Alldridge was born in Melbourne in 1968, and now lives in Yinnar South in Gippsland.
He is self-taught in pencil art and has been capturing the details of Australian wildlife in pencil since he first learned to draw. A workshop in 2011 unleashed a dormant pastel monster.
With nature as his inspiration and an eye for unconventional beauty, David Alldridge's work is rich in detail and colour and features flora and a myriad of creeping, crawling, hopping and fluttering creatures, but his passion has always been frogs. His work now branches into landscape and portraiture.
David Alldridge has held solo exhibitions at Meeniyan, Yarram and the Latrobe Regional Art Gallery in Morwell. He has also had several joint exhibitions at the AGRA Gallery in Camberwell, Victoria.
David Alldridge is currently a member of the Australian Guild of Realist Artists (AGRA), and The Victorian Pastel Society.

Morwell lights up for festival after mine fire.
Morwell closed its doors for weeks during the Hazelwood mine fire which covered the town in smoke and ash but now the buildings are lighting up and the doors are open for a festival that aims to move the town.
It's the second time the Morwell Winter Night has run and this year the festival is expanding beyond live music and market stalls to art installations and projections around the town.
The festival is part of the ReActivate Latrobe Valley project which aims to reinvigorate towns in the Latrobe Valley.
Planning for the night began in August last year, long before the Morwell mine fire and festival organisers haven't been deterred by the smoke and ash.
I hope that through the work that we're doing, we bring back hope and a more positive vibe to the community. It has been a really difficult period for everyone involved and hopefully we can move forward, says one of the organisers Rose Monacella.
During the night, ten projections will show on buildings around the town and ten business and empty shops will display art installations.
It is actually telling another story that's a part of the innovation in the Valley and I see that the creative areas are a part of that, says Ms Monacella.
Aboriginal artist Ronald Edwards will showcase one of his paintings that has been transformed into a projected animation.
It's a dreamtime story from his people, the Gunai Kurnai, about Borun and Tuck.
Mr Edwards says he hopes the projection will enable people who are usually intimidated by art galleries to access art and learn about his culture.
This event will reconnect the people back to the Valley and being the first Indigenous person in Gippsland showcasing their art on big projectors, I'm very happy and very proud, he says.

Expecting Something? Polyglot Theatre 2013
Expecting Something? is a community residency project that used creative processes to develop a supportive and stimulating space for young mothers and mothers to be, set in the Latrobe Valley.
I found my feet was a short term exhibition and a long term free public artwork that emerged directly from 2 years of contact with a core group of young women and their babies through the project, Expecting Something?
The artworks aimed to celebrate babies and pregnant women and their place in the Latrobe Valley. By printing sets of tiny footprints all over the streets, the women hoped to claim back the urban environment for a short time, from the dominating agenda of commerce and social services.
Hundreds of prints were gathered across the Valley and parents could 'find' the feet of their own baby using a special map of the artwork.
Part of the work is also a collage artwork in the main pedestrian underpass as well as solar powered sound boxes with stories and sounds collected by young mothers. Take a moment to walk through the new underpass and sit under the boxes and listen.
Special thanks to local artists Sean Gardner, Claire Van Der Velden and Jordan Crugnale.
Expecting Something? is generously supported by the Australian Government through the Australia Council, its arts funding and advisory body, the Lord Mayor's Charitable Foundation, The Ian Potter Foundation, and the Helen Macpherson Smith Trust.
