Art show opens

The Erina Regional Gallery opened a retrospective art show featuring the works of long-time Peninsula resident Tom Hockey on Saturday.

Mr Hockey lived in Woy Woy for many years until his death last November.

He spent much of his career as a commercial artist until he retired to his Orange Grove studio to concentrate on fine arts.

Many of his paintings feature spectacular views of the Peninsula, which so often inspired him.

The exhibition will run until May 22, and is being held by Elsie Mills, his partner of 30 years.

Many of Mr Hockey's paintings are on display, with a select few available for purchase.
