Noel Fermanis
Noel started his career as a much sought after ceramicist in the 1980s and has many works placed in collections from this era.
In the late 80s Noel bought a pub... the Bakers Arms in Victoria Street Abbotsford. This turned out to be the beginning of many projects in hospitality that employed many artists incluidng myself. And although still creating including his pub interiors, Noel stopped exhibiting.
Fast forward to 2024 and this is Noel’s first exhibition since his early successes and I’m so happy to have been able to finally convince Noel to have an exhibition after many years of friendship. Noel will also be launching his memoir during the exhibition and as part of the Sorrento Writers Festival. Not just another book this is a beautiful art work that has hand written notes, drawings, photographs and memories of his life and hilarious characters who along the way have helped make his wonderful life.
