Hello!

I am Dharshi!

​

Welcome to Hoo Gallery, you are sure to find something remarkably unique and handmade here. My practice mostly derives inspiration from the lush garden at HOO. The garden acts not only as a creative source that feeds my imagination, but it provides me with valuable resources for my floral designs and botanical prints on cloth and paper. You will find that many things at the Hoo Gallery is a one of a kind!

​

I create my art and other offerings from a source of inner stillness and a commitment to a slow living philosophy and lifestyle. Yet, ironically what comes out of this is prolific creativity, a strong work ethic and a creative process filled with meaning, narratives, symbology, mystical magic and a whimsical joy filled with deep commitment to wisdom. 

​

Hoo art and handmade objects explore themes surrounding identity, family values, connection to nature, ancestral and imaginative narratives regarding relationships.In my work I endeavour to respect and honour all of creation.

​

On your visit to my gallery, expect to discover an Imaginarium gift shop filled with original art, prints and gifts created locally or onsite at our studio. I create everything by hand, putting a lot of love, time and attention; therefore, availability may vary. We suggest that you contact Dharshi when looking for something specific before making the journey to Mornington Peninsula from Melbourne. Alternatively, if you live further afield, check out the online store.
