This little gallery in Roleystone is a treasure trove of creative activity and fine works of art. Not only does it offer interesting exhibits by new and established artists but practical classes. Then too, visitors to the gallery are invited into the studio where the answer to a question may be accompanied by a quick sketch or demonstration. It's all about learning and appreciating art.

The current exhibition offers diverse exhibits from a variety of artists. Featured are works by artists from Arnham Land who produce sparkling mosaic like acrylic paintings composed of small multi-coloured dots that visually fuse into iconic images of landscape. Father's Country by Wally Morton Apetyarr and Antarringinya by Leanne Teece Apwerl are much appreciated for their naive style and gentle hues.

Also exhibited are fine realistic works by Graeme Wild. There is a small oil still life of apples that freezes time so we can travel back to a simpler era and the pastel Dipper and Eggs, a still life study in tones of blue-greys and tawny oranges. Don Mumery too presents faultless paintings in bright and airy watercolour. Creation Myth, Cosmic Fish is a composition of strong colours that hint at the subject, which slips out of reality before we can identify a specific. Equally free but softer in hue is Pebble Garden where the contrast of muted background and structured foreground provides a balance of interest.

Susan Angwin's work in both oil and watercolour displays how she continues to grow and develop her command of both media. Her series Reflections appears to be the vehicle that is taking her forward to new creative levels. Also on display are works by Carl Haanappel, a water colourist of rich talent. His figures, whether clearly defined as solid form or merely suggested with transparent wash, live and breathe. We have no doubt The Tree Wise Men will indeed solve the problems of the world.

For a small gallery half hidden in a quiet corner of the hills, it certainly holds quite a bit of excitement.
