Dec 6 2007: Wayne Rankin exhibited in the 9 x 5 at Walker Street Gallery
|
The Walker St Gallery in Dandenong again featured the exciting digital art of Wayne Rankin in December 2007, in its 9x5 Exhibition. Wayne's chosen work was a three dimensional eye creation, which takes on a changing expression as one moves from one side to the other viewing the picture. Strong reds and blues provide depth and emotion. Three vertical panel central to the eye carry this change effect through the transition across the canvas.

Oct 8 2007: THIS GALLERY WAS LAUNCHED
|
This art gallery web space was launched early October. Initially it contains the works of five very special artists who have taken their inspiration from Warrandyte and the environment of the Yarra River running through this town. It was important to present a strong and varied mix of artistic styles - you will see here traditional and the modern, from oils, to digital and from canvas to ceramics!
We look forward to adding Emerging Artists and new Artists in Residence in coming months.We welcome your feedback
