Kosciuszko to Niseko
When: 20 April to 5 May, 10 am to 4 pm
Where: Mechanics Institute, Page Street, Moruya

It’s not quite winter yet for us, but this exhibition gives you a look into a winter wonderland. Emerging artist Carleta Delac began painting in 2017 after a 46-year nursing career. In that time, she has worked across a range of mediums such as oils, watercolour and acrylics as she explores the beauty of cold climates. For this exhibition, she was inspired by time spent living in the Snowy Mountains and Japan’s wintertime.
