Opening in 2018, Art on Piper gallery in Kyneton displays a rotation of works from its 24 members, with many taking inspiration from the picturesque Macedon Ranges.
It is currently hosting an exhibition featuring the works of mother and son, Gillian and Brad Gorrie.
Gillian’s works depict local landscapes using pen and ink, and Brad’s depict people and animals using vibrant acrylic paints.
Art on Piper president Kathryn Portelli said the gallery, located in the heart of Piper Street, is a great place to meet local artists and find a unique painting, keychain, or souvenir that captures the Macedon Ranges’ landscape.
“One hundred per cent … you meet an artist when you come in. They’re creating on the spot and they talk about that – which means not only have you enjoyed looking for a gift or exploring work, you’re meeting someone whose hands are in the materials,” Kathryn said.
“The whole experience on Piper Street is wonderful and worth coming for.”
The gallery will decorate its front window to incorporate a daffodil theme at the end of this month in recognition of the annual Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival.
Art on Piper is open every day except Tuesdays, from 10am until 4pm, at 44 Piper Street, Kyneton.
Gillian and Brad Gorrie’s works will be exhibited until September 3.
