Join us as we celebrate the opening of three new exhibitions at 2pm on Saturday 26 July.
Anna Di Mezza | Favourites
"Favourites" is Anna's artistic homage to movies and television shows. She has a fascination and admiration for cinema which took root in her childhood and continued with her work as an artist for Walt Disney Animation. In this body of work, she has depicted moments from films in her paintings. She has tried to capture the emotion in the actors' faces and added some graphic twists of her own at times.
Lesley Kinney | The Opal Hearted Country, Aerial Views of Australia's Desert Places
Lesley feels a close affinity with the Australian desert, having been born in Alice Springs. A NASA photograph of Lake Eyre in flood formed the main inspiration for this exhibition. Then, on a flight to Perth, Lesley was fascinated by the Western Australian salt lake potholes she viewed out of the plane window on the way. She has included paintings of iconic landforms such as Kata Jutta and Uluru.
Catherine McCorkill | Echoes of Light
"Echoes of Light" showcases Catherine’s love of portraiture and nature: to capture something of the essence of a state of being in time and space. Her art explores how, with the gift of sight, we can endlessly interpret and express our world of existence, energy and atmosphere. Catherine’s painting of Ivor Houston received the 2023 Blue Mountains Portrait “People’s Choice’ award. Since then, she has obtained her Masters from the Florence Academy of Art.
