Openings:

I hope you enjoy the small sample of artwork I have selected here.

Upstairs: 

Overland and Ghan Exhibition Rooms: Glenys Leske. 
No title as such: Landscapes, Art Quilts and Portraits

Glenys is a well known Textile Artist from Berri. She is a foundation member of the "Riverland Textile Artists" and a member of the Embroiderers Guild of SA as well as the SA Lace Guild. She has produced the most exquisite Australian landscapes in machine embroidery textiles, as well as quilts, traditional lace, felting and lead lighting.

 A very talented and eclectic artist, it will be a rewarding experience to see her beautiful work.  

The Photo on the right above is a close up showing you the imense amount of detail that Glenys needs to provide a look of realism in her Art work.

Downstairs:

Red Hen Exhibition Room:

Title: Within the Square- theme is "Mother" 
Each canvas is 30cms square and the Title MUST contain the word 'Mother'. 
This has not proven to be such a challenge as we initially thought. 

 As Colleen said; "People have wonderful ways of expressing the word Mother".

This year there is a prize for the People's Choice winner. Come along and vote for your favourite piece.

We have also been lucky enough  to have the "Adelaide Plains Poets" group come in, as they did last year to write a poem about one of the "Mother" Themed Canvases. These poems will be placed under the paintings which they were written about. You are invited to read them and we hope that you enjoy them also.  

  Downstairs:

Tea and Sugar Exhibition Room: Colleen Gates- an original member of our Gallery.
Title: "Across the Years".  A retro exhibition. 
This is Colleen's First Solo Exhibition. She has held many shared ones over the years and is a very accomplished artist.
Her range of ability covers, Watercolour, Oil and Acrylic, with a definite preference for Watercolour currently.

Colleen has the ability to work "Abstract" as well as "Realism", not everyone can do this and I am amongst them.

She is displaying a variety of her older works this time and you will be treated to a wonderful range of topic in her artwork which is always beautiful in its own right as well as beautifully presented.

Her most popularly purchased pieces in recent years have been her elephants, but I am given to understand there will not be many of those this time.

Definitely a must see 

as are all our Exhibitions this time.
