Next Exhibition -
A Lifetime in Paint by Gerald Moore

Special exhibition and sale of work for 3 days only.
Saturday 30th September - Monday 2nd October.

Gerald has been a member of the Clare Art Group, Adelaide Art Society and Burra Art Group, where he formed working relationships with prominent artists such as Lyn Day, David Dryden, Garry Lee-Gaston and Arthur Phillips. He has enjoyed many field trips with these groups and painted much of South Australia’s spectacular scenery.
 
During the 1980s Gerald worked as a tutor at the Clare College of TAFE and in recent years he has enjoyed being a volunteer tutor with the University of the Third Age in Auburn. This enthusiastic group continued to meet each week even during the periods when Gerald was ill in hospital in the past year. He is very pleased to now be back with the class and hopes to be back at his easel again soon.
 
This exhibition is a celebration of a life-time of painting for a local artist who is respected for his painting skills and service to the local community.
