Hidden away in Teralba, Lake Macquarie, a town more like a little NSW country town than a lakeside suburb is one of my favourite places, Flying Spanners Gallery. Here Bec and Grahame open their cafe and gallery to the public three days a week.

It is a lovely place to visit where locals meet, people browse the gallery and also drop off and pick up books from the community library – a large cupboard decorated by Bec. Inside, for sale, are sculptures by Grahame and paintings and works of art (including t-shirts) by Bec and other artists. For those who aren’t aware Bec Murray is the artist who paints the wonderful pillar people that can be discovered all over Newcastle.

Bec and Grahame recently hosted the very successful Sculptures at Scratchley and they are hosting the Avondale University Art Exhibition this coming Wednesday 15th November at the gallery at 6.30pm. Hope to see you there!

The opening of the Avondale University Art Exhibition was a great success and the exhibition can still be viewed 9-3 this Saturday 25th, Sunday 26th and Monday 27th November, Monday being the final day.
