Submitted. A refreshing & enlightening exhibit that embraces culture, the humanities and the environment, featuring recent and new artwork by a diverse group of five established local artists.
Each piece exhibited is totally original; hand crafted and reflects the personality and emotions of their creator resulting in a truly ec-lec-tic collection.

Judy Hurley: Textile Artist: who loves texture and colour and manipulates ordinary fabrics by, burning, creasing, stitching, wrapping, clamping and embellishing their surface to create extraordinary pictures and panels.
Greg Laxton Ekberg: Acrylic Paintings. Greg is a painter whose graphic interpretations reflect a varied appetite. Concerned primarily with colour, contrast and composition, his subject matter ranges from faces and wildlife to forests and fiddlehead ferns.
