The main photo features Janine Egan in her Art Partners painting class at the Bunbury Regional Art Galleries.  She's mentored by Hannah Armstrong (bottom right).  Janine's painting Camellia was inspired by the memory of a tree on the family's former property in Melbourne.  She drew the tree on paper before painting it on canvas. When asked about her art, Janine says "It's great to have a go at something I enjoy.  I find it relaxing and inspiring."  There's no doubt that Janine thrives in creative environments and appreciates receiving feedback from her tutors and class colleagues.  Happy travels Janine!
