From stark black and white prints, to those derived from sea creatures. The photography of Glynis Quinlan is another feature. Glynis is a local photographer enthralled by the beauty of nature, people, and places. She takes great delight in sharing the beauty she sees through her lens. “As a teenager, I loved to take photographs but initially pursued painting and drawing, enjoying the influences of artists such as Matisse and Van Gogh,” she said. “Being given a good Nikon DSLR camera provided me with the creative outlet I’d been looking for, and I pursued it with a passion.” Glynis has always loved art and the creative space, which is what attracted her to join the Port Stephens Community Arts Centre after moving to the area from Canberra. The exhibition will be on display until 10 March. Along with the current artwork areas, the gallery also sells pottery, mosaics, handcrafts, embroidery, leatherwork, jewellery, glasswork, and patchwork. Everything is made by local members. The gallery is open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm and Sunday from 10am to 1pm, and is located on Shoal Bay Road, Nelson Bay – up the hill behind the oval.
