African Exhibition by Sue Hodge
This year I’m so excited to bring Africa to Canowindra. My husband and I had the joy of spending over 3 weeks with friends in South Africa. The Songs, sights, sounds, colour, animals and people blew us away. We saw Zulu singers, went to Robben Is. where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, had over 20 Elephants drink from the pool at the place we stayed. We saw 2 cheetahs stalking a herd of wildebeest. Our senses were overwhelmed in the Drakensburg mountains with a falconry show, hiking and experiencing the world-renowned Drakensburg Boys School Choir concert.
The Exhibition will feature paintings and pastels snapshots of what we saw and experienced in South Africa. Please join us for the Opening at 6pm on Saturday 1 August 2026

Reece George
A fresh and joyous collection of new paintings by Reece George, a proud Martu artist living in Woodstock, blending ancient desert wisdom with contemporary artistry. George layers bold strokes and rich dot-work to create lush, original scenes, imbued with cultural depth and a touch of humour. Each painting is a tribute to the red sands and ancient culture of Martu Country, and an invitation to share in the beauty and joy of desert life.
