CURRENT NEWS!

2011 - (July 2011 - August 2011) Artist in residence exhibition which was held at The Blue Mountains Botanic Garden Mt Tomah, was a huge success.  With nearly a total sell out of paintings on the day! The exhibition has finished and paintings are now available for sale in the area near the giftshop.  Kindly, the largest art work 'Middle Canopy' has been loaned by it's new owner to Mt Tomah for permenant display with two other sold art works creating a great set of images for people to see while the resedency is on as other works come and go via the gift shop.  This residency is by invitation only and it covers 12 months from July 2011, with a final exhibition in July 2012.  During this time Mel Jones holds classes in the technique of Pochoir and will also give talks and demonstrations about her art relating to the gardens.
