Creative. Beautifull. Modern.
Arthur was a dedicated teacher and mentor for over 30 years, and his legacy lives on in the memories and works of the many young artists he taught and influenced over his long life – Jeremy Kirwan-Ward, Robert Cook, Barbara Bolt, Lucas Ihlein, Jane Martin, to name just a few. His teaching positions were as varied as his artwork and included a decade in Papua New Guinea, a stint as Senior Education Officer at the Art Gallery of WA (1979-1984), and lecturing at UWA, Curtin and Edith Cowan universities.
Arthur received multiple awards for his contribution to the arts including a ‘Centenary Medal’ in 2003 for his long service to Art and Teaching.
