Margaret Moran, Dennis Arnold and Alison Spurgeon show their current work at Narooma Gallery. Margaret and Alison are members of the of the combined Narooma School of Art Urban Sketches and Moruya Arts & Crafts Plein Air painting group in Narooma. This group have weekly designated locations to meet and paint in the landscape.

Moran is inspired by the many bushwalks in the local area, with the creeks and coastal subjects of particular interest in her recent work.

Dennis’ work over the past decade has ranged from detailed botanicals to urban and natural landscapes. His landscapres are developed from his own photographs, while more abstract works often refer to the European artists of the early 20th century.

Alison particularly enjoys drawing and painting directly in the landscape. Attracted by colour and pattern she uses watercolour and mixed media to capture local scenes of Narooma.
