Gallery takes out an award!

Jayes Gallery won a prestigious award at the Cabonne Country Daroo Business Awards last Friday night! Libby Oldham, Gallery Director, was speechless at winning the award after entering for the last 10 years! So it was appropriate that she walked to podium and then jsut couldn't find the words that she needed to describe her delight.

Husband, Hugh Oldham has been etching the glass plate awards for the last 10 years and has plenty of rejects on the studio floor, but now both of them are pleased to be able to display one in their own premises.

Well done! Jayes Gallery is a definite bright spot in rural NSW and something we, the staff, are very proud of!

Hope to see you in the gallery soon and why not pop in for coffee and a light lunch in the cafe/restaurant with Grant Chef!

Contemporary Realist Landscapes by Denis Bradley

Our first solo show for the 2009 season will be from artist, Denis Bradley. Although this is Denis's first solo show, he is no newcomer to the arts with a long career spanning many years.

 

He has been included in many group exhibitions and is well established with a clear style of his own. His love of the land shines through these works to communicate his connection with 'place' to the viewer. Strong works, colourful and bold!

Denis is a local having grown up at "Jindalee" at Borenore so the influence of Mt Canobolas and the extraordinary landscape of this region was already well integrated within his artistic sensibility at a young age. Recent years have been spent around South Coast which has led him to a wider influence.

We invite you to the opening on Sunday 8 February at 2.30 in the Main Gallery or if you wish, you can share a lunchoen with Denis in the Cafe from 12.30 (bookings are essential for lunch though).
