Eleanor Eraković Exhibition - Now on until Sunday 6 September at the Otago Art Society.

After moving from Australia in 2008 Eleanor primarily focused on ceramics, making bonsai pots for the local bonsai community. In the last year, however, she has resumed painting, sketching, and in the last eight months added spinning to her skills. Artists, like art, are constantly evolving.
