"East meets West" - exhibition to inspire you coming soon!

Marian's new works of Arabian horses, peacocks and other icons from the Middle East will delight you. Her works are wonderfully detailed and realistic but also encompass a degree of fantasy as is the tradition of the East. Her love of her subjects shine through in each artwork Marian produces.

This is the last solo show for Jayes Gallery for 2012 so make sure you don't miss this one! Opening on Saturday 13 October 2012 at 6 pm, we would love to see you at the gallery to enjoy the show, meet with the artists and participate in a delightful evening.

2012 is shaping up to be an exciting year!

Hi everyone

Jayes Gallery Cafe & Sculpture Gardens re-opened on 18 January with many changes over the end of the year. The outdoor alfresco area has been refurbished and provides a shady place to find respite from the summer sun with a cool drink or coffee on those lazy afternoons. You can take a stroll around the sculpture garden or a look through the galleries.

The cafe now features a new menu with foods from the regions' finest chefs, main meals from the kitchen of Michael Manners and treats by Shaun Arantz of Racine. As well, Adelaide Harris, chef and fine food writer is preparing delicious cakes to be served with our Lavazza Coffees! So if you are looking for something scrumptious, pop in today!

Gallery 1 has a selection of works from the stockroom and our stable of the regions' fine artists along with glass by Keith Rowe and ceramics by Marjo Carter.

Gallery 2 will become our aboriginal section in the near future as Jayes now has a range of local aboriginal art works and craft items.

The Gift Shop has funky brooches from Sugden and Hamilton, silversmithing from Sarah Whitlock along with a range of interesting pieces sourced from around Australia. A new range in of silk and felt scarves in bright colours and children's clothes hand made by Sambience.

We will continue to promote the fine art and food of the Mt Canobolas region throughout the coming year with our 2012 calendar of solo shows already firmly in place. We look forward to an exciting year ahead and will be happy to see you at Jayes.

Either 'at home' or 'on the way', Jayes brings you 3 inspiring artists to ponder in April!

Jayes Gallery & Sculpture Gardens is delighted to be able to bring you three artists with works that will inspire you this Autumn.

Title: “On the Road of Home”

Exhibition Dates: 10 April – 1 May 2011

Opening: Sunday 10 April at 2 pm



Nicole Parkins
Autumn is on it’s way and while the countryside gets painted in asounding colours right before our eyes, Jayes Gallery is pleased to be showing the works of Nicole Parkins, a newcomer t this region. For Nicole’s first solo show with us, she has painted a selection of small and delightful works inspired by her journeys in Tuscany. Nicole tells us that this regional reminds her of Tuscany with its rolling hills, vineyards, orchards and woodlands dotting the landscape.

Her works are colourful and joyful and we invite you to join us on Sunday 10 April at 2 pm for the opening of Nicole’s show.

Nicole says of her work “First stop on my first venture out of Australia was in the beautiful medieval village of Montecastello, Umbria, Italy. Many of the works on paper in this exhibition were completed while doing a residency in this little town on top of a hill surrounded by classic Italian countryside.  The town itself was gorgeous; rustic charm hugged every doorway, corner, or stone paved lane way.  From the 360 view around the town, white roads and rivers meandered through the countryside, which I frequently ventured out into on walks, gathering images in my mind to take home.  Later, on my return to my studio in Australia, I completed further studies and painted the canvas series.  My works are reflections on the many moods of myself, the changing landscape and the stories that it can create and tell.”

Marjo Carter

We are delighted to bring you a small selection of smoke fired pottery from well known potter, Marjo Carter. Marjo’s works are highly sought after and once again, she has excelled in the works in this collection.


Josephine Jagger-Manners
In Gallery 2, Josephine's new exhibition "At Home" is aptly titled for whether inside or outside the home, Josephine's colourful and feminine works demonstrate the beauty of the 'everyday'. "At home" provides her with a continuing theme for her bright and decorative paintings, images that will continue to delight you for years to come with their cheerful outlook and clean, clears colours.
