A Forest Walk (A Two Styx Retreat Exhibition) – We walked the trails, we oohed and aahed at the views, stoked the fire, played cards, ate delicious food and discussed life and the environment at the Two Styx NEAS artist retreat last November. And we were each inspired by the wet and misty and the forays into the sunshine. From inspiration has come a variety of works and this exhibition shares a few of those with you. Artists with works in this exhibition are Sue-elle Fischer, Lorraine Kelleher, Maria Hitchcock and Tess Cullen.
