Dear West Gallery supporters

For many reasons I have decided not to continue with the gallery.

It has been six years full of happy creative events, which include meeting many inspiring artists and kindred spirits. Most important are the wonderful friendships made that I hope will continue into the future.

I hope that West Gallery Thebarton’s six years have added to the artistic life in Adelaide. I am gratified that it has enabled many worthy artists to show their work in a professional space, at a time where such spaces are becoming few and far between. Of course, none of this could have been achieved without the support and energy of the team here at the gallery and you the general public.

I have enjoyed creating this gallery so much and, more to the point, I've gained so much from it, but now the time has come for me to refocus my energies whilst continuing with my own creative pursuits.

Thank you so much for your support over the last six years. Wishing you all the very best.

Warm regards
