    Floral Art Exhibition

    The flower show has had to be down-sized so a new approach was decided upon. In 2011, the flowers will be displayed in the Catholic church at the top of Thone St. No theme to date, but who knows what can happen between now and September.

    Fine Artists' Exhibition

    Lucy Pasquale

    This exhibition can be found at the top of the hill in the Anglican church on the corner of Landsdowne Rd.

    'My work is inspired by the natural world, capturing the ever changing light and colour throughout the seasons. Water lilies are one of my favourite subjects as I find they reflect tranquillity and harmony. My travels through Europe provided the opportunity to view the works of many great artists, interact with fellow artists in Venice and Rome, and develop my own unique style. The works I will be exhibiting are of water lilies, flowers and Mediterranean landscapes in pastel, oils and watercolour. All works will be for sale.
