Wine, cheese and art promotion
A Wine, Cheese and Art Night will be held on Saturday, July 16, at the Bays Community Hall from 7.30pm.
It will feature works from Springfield artist Ms Zoe Fletcher and wine tasting from Rutherglen Estates.
The exhibition will continue on Sunday, July 17, from 11am to 4pm, for those unable to attend the Wine, Cheese and Art night.
Ms Fletcher's collection incorporates original oil paintings on canvas and board, pastel and silk paintings, startling prints and coloured silk scarves.
Ms Fletcher will attend, as will feng shui consultant Marlih Jung for those who would like advice on painting placement in their residence.
Ms Fletcher has been exhibiting in galleries, at markets and art fairs on the east coast of Australia for 14 years.
Before this she ran a fashion business, making and selling silk scarves, applique clothing and art wear in England and Western Australia.
Her artwork has featured in 11 solo and 28 group exhibitions and her Wingdom animal fantasy series of fine art giclee prints and art cards have retailed from 17 solo displays.
"I have loved colour ever since I can remember," said Ms Fletcher.
"Colour and nature inspire me most of all.
"The endless patterns on birds, butterflies, animals, sea creatures and plants, on sunsets and skies, feel like a gift from Earth to me," she said.
Tickets for the evening are $20 with proceeds going towards hall maintenance and improvement.
