The main element binding the Tweed community together is the unique flora and fauna which is found in the Valley of Contrasts.

I am pleased two works (Final Glow and Cabarita) will be a part of the Caldera Artfest at Murwillumbah Civic Centre and Final Glow will be exhibited at Caldera Artfest at O’Reilly’s. Looking forward to seeing you there!
I've felt a little burnt out lately and wanted to get back to basics, just some art for arts sake. There's nothing like packing a few colours and trekking up a Tweed Valley hillside to relax and take in some fresh air amongst the fragrant whiff of Ironlaks to complete the mission.
