A Yeppoon visual artist found herself trapped in a foreign country for a number of months as the COVID-19 pandemic sent the world into lockdown.
Julie Barratt was invited to attend the Arteles International Artist Residency in Finland to work with 13 other international artists and hone her craft in early 2020.
A trip that was only meant to last four weeks, Ms Barratt was unable to return to Australia for another two months.
She will share some of her stories about her time at the residency, as well as what it was like living through lockdown at the upcoming Armchair Travel event next weekend.
The Butterfly, at the Capricorn Film Festival early next year.
The 23-year-old Bundaberg girl is an emerging contemporary pop vocalist, composer and producer, who just completed her Honours year of a Bachelor of Music at the University of Sydney.
Her performance, appropriately titled Butterfly in a Cave, will take place in the beautiful cathedral caves at Capricorn Caves, north of Rockhampton.
The performance will feature the live debut of her single,
The Butterfly, which was written about the years after the loss of her grandfather.
“Feeling the person is still there, like a butterfly that never flies away,” Chelsea said.
