The captivating works of two local artists, Ross Meaker and David Graham, were displayed on walls of The Imaginarium in Shellharbour throughout the recent Mother’s Day weekend. 

David Graham

Ross has a longstanding passion for photography, only further invigorated by the introduction of digital photography and his retirement. 

His collection of landscape photography showcased the best from the snowy Jindabyne surrounds to the coastal sunrises of Narooma and Lake Conjola. With Ross’ eye for detail and texture in his work, his photographs transport views through a visual journey of nature’s wonders. This was Ross’ first exhibition, and he admitted eagerness at the idea of his work reaching a wider audience for the first time. 

Ross Meaker

Teaming up with Ross was David, whose artistic journey began as a child drawing maps. With encouragement from his mother, Bronwyn, David’s passion transformed into a lifelong pursuit. 

David’s meticulously crafted pencil and ink drawings are a stunning display of historical preservation. The collaboration between the two artists proved

to be a success, drawing praise from visitors who flocked to The Imaginarium.
