What a week it has been at Pure Art Moments! I’m still glowing from the warmth and generosity of the Bellarine Arts Trail community, and I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about what’s coming up this Easter long weekend.
Bellarine Arts Trail — A Weekend to Remember
Last weekend, I had the honour of exhibiting as part of the Bellarine Arts Trail, with my work on show at Bellarine High School. It was a truly special experience — one of those weekends that reminds you exactly why you create.
I exhibited three original works:
- The Stump — an oil painting
- Rock Pools at Sunset — an oil painting
- Happy Journey — an abstract piece created with polymer paint and modelling paste
The response from visitors was incredibly moving. One of my pieces was mistaken for a photograph — a moment I will never forget. To have someone look at your painting and see that level of realism and detail is one of the greatest compliments an artist can receive. Can you see why?

The conversations, the curiosity, and the genuine connection with people who stopped to look, to ask, and to feel something in front of the work — that is what art is all about.

✨ Prints of selected works are available in my online store, so you can bring a piece of the Bellarine into your home.

Come and Say Hello
These milestones — the Arts Trail, the Easter sale, the connections made along the way — are a reminder of why I do what I do. Art has a way of bringing people together, of sparking conversation, of making a space feel like home.
If you can’t make it to Barwon Heads in person, my online store is always open. From art prints and homewares to wearable art and gifts, there’s something for every art lover.
Thank you for your continued support — it means the world. 🌿🎨
With love,
Pam — Pure Art Moments
