THE Port Stephens Community Art Centre has an excellent exhibition of its Potters and Artists of the Month works on display for the community’s interest.

“Potters Maree Dohnt and Annette Buivydas have presented a beautiful selection of clay birds and eggs displayed in nests and on wooden twigs to give them a realistic look,” said LiZ Berger, Port Stephens Community Art Centre.

“If you are a bird lover you will definitely enjoy this exhibition and all the other amazing clay works displayed throughout our centre.”

Both Maree and Annette came to the Port Stephens Community Arts Centre with a passion to learn something new and express their love of childhood memories in their works.

“We love it here,” the potters said, “there is so much to learn and everyone is so friendly.”

Artist of the month Bev Henry has focused her work on the Australian bush and rural landscapes, reflecting her training with renowned Australian artist Tony Tozer.

“As a member of the ‘plein air painters’, Bev was able to travel all over NSW, followed by a trip to Nepal with Lindsay Server to teach art to children who had never seen art materials before.”
