LEMON HILL GALLERY WELCOMES YOU
Celebrating creativity, resourcefulness and the human spirit
ABOUT THE GALLERY
Lemon Hill Gallery is a small gallery in a shipping container on a farm in East Gippsland. It is approached off the bitumen, on a gravel road!
Our address: 158 Lemon Hill Rd, Wairewa. Victoria.
There is no charge for visiting, or for exhibiting in the gallery and there is no commission on a sale. Sales take place between the artist and the buyer.
The container was donated after the 2019/20 bush fires and the gallery is
situated on the site of the burnt shed with a 360 degree view of the Wairewa valley and the state forest.
Exhibitions change every 4 weeks and the Gallery is closed in January and February. If you would like to exhibit here please contact me.
The first exhibition "Christmas in a Container" by Merilyn Flynn was featured on ABC TV at Christmas time 2020.

OPENING HOURS
Come Visit
The gallery is open on Sunday afternoon from 2pm to 5pm when a cup of tea or coffee and lemon slice (usually!) will be available.
It can be viewed at other times by arrangement. Night viewing has a certain charm. The night is black and the lights are dramatic on a farm far from street lights.

Faye Colls is a Melbourne artist, with a Bachelor Creative Arts (Hons) from Deakin University who works in oils, watercolours, ink, and pencil. At the core of her illustration practice is "the belief that visual narrative is an important discipline by which imagination is transported to reality." She is "known for her love of children and crazy about projects that give children a soaring spark of hope, encouraging imagination and teach the art of adventuring."
For this exhibition she has chosen pencil sketches on moleskin "that illuminate the small fleeting moments in time that cement a deep connection between and grandparent and a grandchild. The pencil sketches are simplisitic and devoid of colour and usually depict subjects from behind, or looking away. They seek to evoke a personal memory of feelings that cannot be captured by a camera."
They are charming!
