Art Exhibition: Southern Light

For more than a decade, the artists of this close-knit studio have painted, exhibited and shared their creative journeys. Now, six of their artists come together at Hunter Wetlands Centre for "Southern Light", a vibrant group exhibition celebrating the many ways contemporary expressionist painting can interpret the world around us.

From bold abstraction to realism, the exhibition brings together landscapes and subjects alive with colour, energy and distinctive design. While each artist has their own style and creative voice, there is a shared sense of joy that connects the collection.

Come and discover "Southern Light " and experience an eclectic mix of contemporary painting set within the unique natural surrounds of the Hunter Wetlands Centre.

All artworks are for sale!
