Currently on show at Everglades Gardens Gallery in Leura is Light and Air, an intriguing and colourful exhibition of paintings and drawings by Sanja Zemljacenko Herrmann and Lucy Dawson.
The paintings are accompanied by the exquisite silver jewellery created by Sandy Clifford.
Local and renowned artist John Ellison said at the opening, “this exhibition glows and sings”, and concluded that “this is a healthy and joyful exhibition, one that will make you feel good”.

The 40 paintings on show reveal the changing light by day and season, the interplay of light and shadow, the movement of air, and the intensity of colour. Sunsets gleam through gum trees, blue hues echo the wilderness, and light dances across the beautiful gardens of Leura, including Everglades Gardens.
The collection of jewellery includes intricately hand carved and sculpted pieces, in the forms of leaves, feathers, birds and flowers. The full collection of jewellery will soon be available in Cloifford’s shop, Sonara, opening soon in Leura.
The exhibition is running until Sunday, January 29 in the National Trust property, Everglades Historic House and Gardens. The artists will attend the gallery which is open daily from 11am-4pm.
