Camberwell Rotary Art Show Pastel Still Life Demonstration will be on Saturday July 15 at 11am. "I am so pleased to have been asked to be a demonstrating artist at this popular show. Over thirty years ago I was a young artist putting my work into everything I could, Camberwell Rotary were so supportive exhibiting my artwork and awarding the travel scholarship to me in 1985. It greatly helped me in my quest to be a full time artist."
