'Light Fandango' Jackie Gorring and Minna Graham

11/29/2025

"Ross Creek Gallery proudly presents Light Fandango, a vibrant joint exhibition by mother and daughter artists Jackie Gorring and Minna Graham.
Jackie Gorring and Minna Graham present deeply personal, expressive works that explore the poetic terrain between chaos and calm, inner world and outer landscape. Although working in distinct media, Gorring in print and sculpture, Graham in ceramics, their practices are bound by emotional resonance, spontaneity, and a shared dialogue with nature and memory."

It will open on 29th November and will run until 28th December 2025.

Dianne Longley is in an exhibition with fellow artist Olga Sankey, an exhibition at Praxis Gallery. As Dianne is a Goldfields Printmaker, we celebrate with her.

"This curated exhibition traces the distinctive, individual art practices of two internationally recognised Australian artists, Dianne Longley and Olga Sankey. Coming from a printmaking background, both artists have individually reimagined the medium, combining analogue with digital, and blending different print techniques, to create works that push traditional print boundaries of scale, materiality and form."

Opening 15th May and runs until 14th June 2025.
