The Temora & District Visual Arts Centre is proud to showcase a stunning collection of paintings created by local Temora artists. The theme throughout the year focused on still life, allowing students to explore colour, composition, and creative techniques inspired by studies of famous artists.

Each artwork demonstrates not only the technical development of the artists but also their unique personal interpretations of the world around them, transforming everyday subjects into something truly extraordinary.

All paintings are available for purchase, offering art enthusiasts the opportunity to support local talent and bring a piece of Temora’s vibrant artistic community into their own homes.

Karen Walsh, the Centre’s Art Tutor, reflects:

“Each artwork reflects not only the technical growth from each student but also a personal interpretation of the world around us, transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary.”
