Park Gallery

Dorothy Gordon |

The Gallery

Dorothy Gordon as well as visiting art and photography exhibitions. The
Gallery is also available for hire.
Art and science go hand in
hand here. Some of Dorothy Gordon's friends have been involved as
volunteers at the Garden since Dave first asked for their help.

Some
of the plants Dorothy painted grow in the beds outside the gallery.
Also here are the three Gordon grevilleas, plus other interesting
grevillea species, and a selection of water plants in experimental water
gardens.
Compare this photograph of G. banksii with the painting

 The leadlight panel at the entrance to the
gallery was created by local people with the help of expert tuition from Dermot
Clifford. The three panels (repeated here for effect) depict the 3 Gordon grevilleas (from the
top) Merinda, Sandra and Robyn. The lobby doubles as visitor information
centre and gift shop (see Gift Shop).

 Marianne Irvine is another
photographer inspired by our Garden. She describes her award winning 'abstract Impressiongraphs' as
'blurry out-of-focus Myall
Park images ... very personal, very instinctive, very much from the
heart'.

designed via internet by a group of artists connected in various ways to the
Garden,
then painted on the front of the gallery by local artists. Postcards and
