Over the years he has had one-man exhibitions in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane and regularly participates in-group exhibitions throughout Australia. He has exhibited in the Wynne and Archibald prizes and his work is represented in Australian and overseas collections. This is Greg’s third solo exhibition at the gallery. His work is usually colourful and often whimsical, with a twist of pseudo intellectual aestheticism. This he hopes is vaguely relevant today.

RECOLLECTIONS
“Recollections” an exhibition of recent and not so recent prints by the Southern Highlands Printmakers. In 1993 the Southern Highlands Printmakers (SHP) formed as a group aiming to foster printmaking within the region and to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas. The Southern Highlands location is central to Wollongong, Canberra and Sydney which allows the artists access to urban experiences, enhancing and expanding their view as regional artists.

THE BALD ARCHYS 2010 Irreverent, irrepressible, hilarious, satirical
The exhibition the man-in-the-street loves (and the arts snobs hate) – and the only exhibition in the world judged by a sulphur-crested cockatoo named Maude!
2 Sept – 16 Sept
Patrice Cooke
RECENT WORKS
I have always been fascinated by the natural world. An exploration of the patterns and minutiae of plant and animal life form the inspirations for this exhibition. I enjoy working alternately in clay and paint as the two mediums allow different forms of expression of a similar theme.
1 Oct - 27 Oct
Ros Goody RECENT WORKS “If you don’t do it, don’t paint it”. This bold statement sums up Ros Goody’s passionate attitude towards her work. Ros’ determination to live her art has driven her to saddle up with true blue cattlemen for weeks of hard mustering in the high country of Victoria and the dry plains of Queensland; it has also taken her to shearing sheds, rough rodeos and dozens of isolated farm stations in a bid to capture the essence of Australian rural life.
Born in the UK Ros now spends her time between England and Australia, painting and exhibiting in both countries. Ros Goody has been exhibiting in Bowral for the last fifteen years with her last show at the Milk Factory Gallery in October 2008.
28 Oct – 23 Nov
Richard Morecroft NATURAL SELECTION Richard Morecroft is perhaps best known for his work in television, but his photographs give a new perspective on the landscape, creating a sense of immersion in the environment.

27 Nov - 19 Dec
