These two artists have joined forces to bring you a visual feast of works employing the separate mediums of photography and paint. Whilst both artists are abstract expressionists, they are motivated by very different ideas.

Joanne was brought up in the wheat belt and that landscape has remained with her today. She takes those remembered visions and interprets them with colour and marks.

Zoran fell in love with photography in the 1980's. Although educated as an engineer, his journey through life has progressed in anything but straight lines. He found and embraced the need for creativity, flexibility, curiosity and free play. This is very evident in his work.

Please join us at 6pm on Friday 24th June for drinks and meet the artists.

Dates: 25 June 2011 to 10 July 2011.
Opening Times: 10am - 4pm Wed to Friday, Saturday to Sunday 10am to 3pm..
