2019 Newcastle Art Prize
Tracey Miller - Macro Flowers Workshop
Tracey Miller's Macro Flowers workshop on the weekend was a huge success. Everyone came away with an almost completed acrylic painting of the flower of their choice in large format. They looked very decorative and would be a prominent feature in any home. A great group of members to be with and Tracey was so generous with her expertise. Our Art Director has already discussed having her back next year and she is keen!
