She has been a member of Coffs Harbour Creative Arts Group at the Showground Art Gallery since moving to the area in 2009, and has consistently won awards. The exhibition includes paintings by Mary Abbott and Isabella Brandli using various mediums. Marion Crear, Maxine Kohlhagen and Yvonne Smith will exhibit papercraft art which includes journals, friendship verses, bookmarks and cards, porcelain painting, stained glass suncatchers, and various knitted and crochet items. The exhibition will be open daily between 9.30am and 3pm and entry is free. By Andrea FERRARI A selection of work by Maxine Kohlhagen and Yvonne Smith. Artwork by Mary Abbott.
