“The members meeting each week generally number eight to ten,” a group spokesperson said.

“They travel on the coast anywhere from Urunga to Grafton and occasionally inland to Bellingen, The Promised Land and Nana Glen to paint the local scenes.

“The varying styles and different approaches to the use of colours and media, along with discussions and critique sessions go toward improving all members’ skills and styles.”

The group encourages one another to enter various exhibitions held in the local area.

Among the members are award-winning artists and well known tutors who have had successful sales locally and overseas.

Their paintings are exhibited in galleries across the Coffs Coast.

“The group also share in the enjoyment of the love of the countryside and the social outing, going home at the end of the day feeling rewarded and relaxed in the achievements of the day.”

The exhibiting Coffs Coast Artists members are Ron Bath, Gloria Hickey, Ann Jennings, Lyndy Dent, Judy Woods, Dave Aber, Shinobu Donkin and Peter Wiseman.
