Twenty-three artists from around the state bring a range of visual delicacies to share and cater to everyone’s palate. Choose from abstract expressionist oils on canvas courtesy of Lil Jedynak, illustrative, hand-coloured still life and landscape lino prints by Christine McCarthy or decorative and patterned flora and fauna from Eliza Piro’s paintings. Delicious!
