 20 Artists across the Peninsula. 

For 18 years I have worked with the Oak Hill Community Gallery assisting

 to paint over the past two years.

Ryazanoff operates on a global level 
& I enjoy the opportunity it offers me to be a

part of the selection process & meeting the Artists and enjoying their company.
