SALA Exhibitions
at the Gallery
during August
Jaqueline Barmentloo's muse the Amazing Dolly is again centre stage in these pop surreal digital works; See Dolly's flights of fancy as experienced by her in her role as a vinyl toy with limited expression and articulation.
The much loved Hart's Mill and adjacent
buildings on the Port River have long stood
as symbols of what was and what could be.
Reminiscent of vintage travel advertisements
this series of illustrative works delight in the
Port’s unique beauty and enchantment.
