    Pastel Passion and Paperbark

    Sat Mar 1 – Sat 29 2025

    Barbara Lanham and Belinda Parkinson have united their artistic passions to present this captivating exhibition.


    Barbara has had a lifelong love for drawing and painting, with childhood memories of spending her pocket money on pencils and paper instead of sweets.

    Throughout her artistic journey, she has explored various mediums, including acrylics, watercolors, pen and wash, and pastels.

    Barbara shares, “I’ve experimented with many mediums, but I find myself most drawn to pastels. This exhibition reflects my connection to the world around me through evocative works that capture its essence.”


    In contrast, Belinda views art as the expression of her soul.

    She explains, “For me, Paperbark serves as a bridge to the natural world, and it finds its place in my work.

    A piece of nature becomes immortalised on canvas, preserving its beauty for future generations. It’s a joy to share this passion with you all.”

    Together, their diverse perspectives create a rich and thought-provoking exhibition.
