The Nature of Us Exhibition 

With Dianne Greenwood & Kim Greenwood

The Nature of Us is an exhibition by local artists Kim and Dianne Greenwood, each exploring and responding to their natural surroundings. From backyards to beaches each artist collects, and abstracts their observations and inner workings.
