Exhibition: Ted Lewis ‘Day Trip’
Mon 17 July - Sat 26 August

Inspired by the beauty around the Central West, Ted Lewis’ latest exhibition – Day Trip, is a collection of local scenes.
Iconic streetscapes, tree-lined dirt lanes, creeks with river oaks, gum trees and saplings with wildflowers scattered among them, blue hills, and rugged natural beauty that inspires.
Ted Lewis has been painting full-time for over 30 years, holding his first one-man exhibition at the Hesley Gallery in Orange in 1976 at the age of 18.
Since then he has had many successful exhibitions in Orange, Bathurst, Sydney, Peak Hill, South Port (Queensland), Canberra and Canowindra.
