Avoca Artists Felicity O'Connor & Willemina Villari exhibited at the Gosford Regional Gallery, Dec - Jan 2012

_Willemina Villari, Denny Hoffman and Felicity O’Connor share a common interest in the creative process. This exhibition is united by their exploration of how abstract forms and colour can be used to visually interpret a visceral response to an idea or concept. The diverse styles of the paintings and sculptures reflect the different temperament of each artist. gosfordregionalgallery.com
