Whimsical Echoes of Nature’ showcases a wide range of paintings, sculptures, prints and drawings inspired by the natural world. Based in the Illawarra and far South Coast, the exhibiting artists have used their chosen mediums to produce expressive, visually rich and diverse art works.  The exhibition will take you on a journey across various environments in both abstraction and realistic viewpoints.  In collaboration, we share with viewers a celebration of creativity and contemporary art at its very best.

The established exhibitors are also well-respected members of The Illawarra Association for the Visual Arts (IAVA), whose aim since 2011 is to cultivate and promote outstanding contemporary visual art.

 

Everyone welcome!
