Art forms in shifting sand

24/09/2018

By Esther Lauaki

Some of the world’s best sculptors have been carving up a storm at Dromkeen.

Susanne Ruseler, from the Netherlands, has been fashioning her sculpture for the Riddells Creek Sand Art Gallery exhibition on October 27.

Gallery owners Rosie Gallicchio and Leo Vamvalis chose the theme Enchanted Forest to reflect the beauty of Dromkeen.

“It’s a very historic area and once you walk onto the property, it feels very enchanted,” Ms Gallicchio said.

“The garden is blooming and everything is beautiful at the moment so we wanted our 12 sculptors to be inspired.

“We encourage people to grab their friends and make a great day out of seeing the gallery.”

Dromkeen is at 1012 Kilmore Road, Riddells Creek. Tickets available online or at the gate.
