Come and wander around the gallery to see unique, original art. View various paintings including watercolours and drawings, photography, crafts and gift cards. See a painting demonstration in progress. Have coffee in the cafés next door and stroll along the beach path to visit Captain Cook’s landing place.

Joseph Iliadis - Artist Statement
Photography is a two-pronged process involving capture and post-processing.
For me, capturing an image is more than just taking a snapshot; it is about composition, point-of-view, shapes, lines and textures.
Post-processing, on the other hand, is where I believe the real magic happens. It is the creative process where I can change an image to evoke an emotion or tell a story and I use a variety of editing software to achieve this. The editing process is a way for me to express my thoughts and feelings.
While I like to explore different genres of photography, my main aim is to make images that are visually atmospheric, ethereal, dramatic or moody. I also like to create images that are abstract, either naturally or through digital manipulation.
My goal is to always experiment and grow as a photographer and to create captivating images.
