ROS COLLABORATION HIGHLIGHT
Ros was part of the Florescence group show at The Corner Gallery in Stanmore, showcasing her work alongside other contemporary artists. This exhibition ran from 29 March to 4 April 2023, with a lively opening night event that welcomed art lovers to experience a vibrant celebration of creativity. 

LAURA COLLABORATION HIGHLIGHT
As part of a local council’s Creative Tourism Development Program, Laura created an immersive Botanical Abstract and Gin Experience. This unique workshop series began in March and ran monthly throughout the year. Guests enjoyed a gin tasting at Kilderkin Distillery, followed by a hands-on painting session in Laura’s private art studio. The experience blended artisan craft and creativity, offering a memorable sensory journey through both flavour and art.
