We are super excited because one of our Len’s Club members, Barbara Sheppard, is part of a group exhibition running 16th March to 2nd April at the Macleay Valley Community Art Gallery, Gladstone, NSW, Australia. If you happen to be close to the area it will be well worth a visit.

Catching up with Barbara before the show, she commented, “when preparing for this exhibition I came across a little book titled Ikigai and other Japanese Words to Live By by Mari Fujimoto, which gave me an idea. I chose 5 words from this book that can be related to nature and I have used photographs to illustrate these words: Kanso, Katachi, Shinrin-Yoku, Shibui, Wabi Sabi”.

Below are some of Barbara’s images from the exhibition.

Congratulations Barbara, your hard work has paid off with a fantastic looking show. Enjoy the opening and the rest of the show!
