Nature's Canvas | Yvonna de Jong

You can almost smell the salt air, feel the warmth of the sun on your face and enjoy the coolness of a soft sea breeze when viewing this artwork. Yvonna de Jong's stretched canvas photographic work takes visitors to the sea and through the Australian bush.

Bring the children to enjoy some fun art activities, or join Yvonna on a photography walk through the Gardens. Photography walk time and date to be confirmed.
