What's  on  at  the  Gallery

 “Observing nature, colours and the effect light has on subjects, intrigues me. Immersing myself in art, leads me to so many hours of enjoyment.”

Katherine Miles began painting seriously about 15 years ago and has enjoyed every step of the way since. Having recently retired, after working as a nurse and midwife, Katherine has returned to Armidale and continues to pursue passion for creating her art.

Liz Fulloon's works resulted from the very domestic task of dusting! "It occurred to me that most households display an ornamental bird that has sentimental and dollar value. If it breaks we are saddened by the loss, despite the fact that it cannot fly, and it cannot sing."

"Outside the house magic happens. From fragile eggs nestlings hatch – a huge range of species and plumage. They can sing and fly! Sadly, we kill them on our roads destroy their habitat, deprive them of sources of food and nest sites. I fear that one day we may be left with only ornamental reminders of what we once ignored."

LIZ FULLOON – Armidale NSW
Liz completed an Associate Diploma of Fine Arts in 1990, then promptly spent the next 12 years assisting in the family’s superfine merino stud. It was not until 2005 that she began to paint again. Living close to the gorge country was a strong influence whilst Liz experimented with style and medium with which to express her on-going exploration of the natural environment.

Photographer Jeni Mackenzie has created an exhibition representing some of the Australian birds which are on either the Threatened or Endangered lists.

Amongst the images on show Jeni has included 2 species - Gouldian Finch and Southern Cassowary - which have been brought back from the brink due to the efforts of conservationists.

Barbara Lanham has loved drawing and painting all her life. As a child she would spend all her pocket money on pencils and paper instead of lollies. Yet it wasn’t until 2010 that she had her first solo exhibition where she discovered that this very exciting event was made even more so by selling many of the paintings. 

Mainly a self- taught artist Barbara, with a feel for acrylics and pastels, she says that attending workshops is “invaluable for giving a better understanding of how to achieve what I wanted.” Whilst living in Toowoomba she attended creative classes at the McGregor Winter School at the University of Southern Queensland. She won the Kenneth McQueen Memorial Watercolour Award at the Toowoomba Royal Show not once but twice.  And says the highlight in her artistic life was a wonderful three weeks spent painting on the Greek Islands in 2015 with international pastel artist Karol Oakley.

“What a journey this has been and now I present another collection of my work for all to enjoy.”

Opening:  Sat 25 Feb at 3pm.
