THE Tree of Life and Australia will be central themes in a Patmos Artists exhibition at the Old Cheese Factory this weekend.
The This is Australia exhibition features acrylics, printmaking and mixed media in contemporary and traditional styles by about 20 local artists from the group.
The exhibition also pays tribute to a group member who died from cancer this year.
Members painted versions of The Tree of Life – a theme that was important to the late artist.
The group meets in Berwick on Wednesday afternoons and evenings under the tutelage of Di Lockwood and Jenny Koch.
Beginners are welcome and materials are provided.
The exhibition is at the Old Cheese Factory gallery, 34 Homestead Road, Berwick, on 23 and 24 November, 10am-3pm.
