Wonder in the Woods

Step into a woodland world where nature is reimagined through wood, paint, and photography.

Presented by Headwaters Arts, Wonder in the Woods is a captivating multimedia exhibition that celebrates the beauty, movement, and quiet magic of the natural world. From finely crafted wood sculptures and functional vessels to expressive abstract paintings and striking wildlife photography, each artist offers a unique perspective on the landscapes and creatures that inspire them.

Woodturners Lucy and Lawrence Kristan transform locally sourced wood into elegant vessels and sculptural forms, revealing the character and beauty hidden within every piece of timber. Painter Marnie Cooke explores the rhythms of nature through vibrant colour, texture, and movement, creating abstract works that reflect her background in dance. Completing the exhibition, emerging wildlife photographer William Mitchell captures intimate moments from the natural world with remarkable patience and precision.

Together, these four artistic voices invite visitors to slow down, look closer, and rediscover the wonder waiting just beyond the trail.

Whether you're drawn to contemporary fine craft, expressive painting, or breathtaking wildlife photography, Wonder in the Woods offers an immersive gallery experience that celebrates our enduring connection to nature.

Join them for an Opening Reception on Sunday, July 5, 2026 from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
