Broadmeadows, Victoria – Australia ‘Photographic Portraits of Nature Exhibition LAUNCH at Broadmeadows Town Hall’ Photograph from ©Karen Robinson November 2022 Comment: Karen Robinson Photographer with Carmen Reid – Hume Galleries Curator & Community Development Officer, Arts and Culture Hume City Council, Melbourne – Australia..
INTRODUCTION
This year 2023 – the Robinson Family (my family) was able to finalise details regarding monies raised from my exhibition titled ‘Photographic Portraits of Nature’ held at Broadmeadows Town Hall (Melbourne, Australia) earlier this year. All monies raised through print sales were forwarded directly to Amber Community Organisation to put towards their Art Therapy Creative Writing Program. This program offers sessions to volunteers of Amber Community who have been impacted by road trauma in their lives. It gives them an important opportunity to meet with like-minded people in a safe and supportive environment.
Broadmeadows, Victoria – Australia ‘Photographic Portraits of Nature Exhibition Preparation Photos’ Photographs from ©Karen Robinson November 2022 Comments: Selecting the 42 archival limited edition fineart prints from Karen Robinson’s overall photographic collection to exhibit, preparing/documenting and signing of prints, framing prints, producing information booklets for the exhibition, formulating short videos for three locations within the Gallery, transporting to the Gallery, handing across to Hume City Council Staff to then put together the Gallery Exhibition has been one big effort – all done and ready to go now!

A big thank you to the following people for your print purchases and support: Carmen Reid, Daniel Parson, Eva Mazzei, Joel and Jess Lewis-Hammond, Judy and Rob Bird, Noel Gately, Paul Cant, Rob J Hyndman, Rosie Johnston, and Hume City Council.

IN MEMORY OF BEN…
My son is never too far away in my thoughts, in my family’s thoughts and we were so pleased to have been able to contribute back to Amber Community Organisation this small donation with the help of those who came to the exhibition, those who purchased a print and those who continue to support us.
Our sincerest gratitude from the Robinson Family
In memory of Ben James Robinson 16.11.1983 – 5.11.2009.

CONCLUSION
Photography overall – is just another way to improve my sense of well-being and at the same time – helps me be creative. Being out and about experiencing the natural wonders of the world and the creatures it inhabits is a real privilege for sure. It really does rejuvenate the body and soul. The inclusion of documentary-style photography is helping me to expand on my existing photography skills and ensures my creative endeavours remain a strong focus in my life and in turn, makes me happy…
Happy photography all – © Karen Robinson – May 2023

I’m glad everything went well. A process of remembering and honoring that feels it brought peace to all who participated and expressed love. I’m feeling a bit teary.
