Bundeena Art and Craft Group Exhibition


held 15th - 16th November 2008

The formal opening of the exhibition was given with great aplomb by the President, Norma Parry-Williams (pictured), who gave a history of the group, and then introduced Jiawei Shen, the guest speaker, who officially declared the exhibition “open” (pictured). Jiawei, now a renowned artist in Australia, told us of his journey from China to Bundeena, in various interesting and amusing anecdotes, including drawing portraits of passing people at Circular Quay in Sydney. Jiawei attended with his wife and daughter.

We were also honoured to have on display the wonderful mosaic (pictured) by Tim Cole, telling the indigenous story of why the crow is black, or why other birds are colourful.
