John has been an artist for around 35 years, and it all began with retirement.

Looking for something meaningful to fill his time, John found painting, and it quickly became one of the best pastimes he could have chosen. There is a real satisfaction in the process for him, especially once you find a style that feels like your own.

What keeps John going is simple. Hearing someone say "wow, that's good" about a piece he has created never gets old. His advice for anyone thinking about giving art a go is just as simple. Just do it.

Come meet John and see his work at the Barossa Village Main Exhibition, 3–31 August, 14 Scholz Ave, Nuriootpa. Open Mon–Fri, 8:30am–4:30pm.

Julie has been creating art since her school days, and she has never stopped.

Julie does not stick to one subject. She paints anything and everything, taking on whatever inspires her rather than settling into a single style. Over the years, she has even taught others what she has taught herself, passing on her knowledge and sparking a love of art in people around her.

Now, painting is something much more personal. Julie describes it as therapy, a chance to switch off from everything else and lose herself completely in what she is creating. It keeps her mind active and gives her a genuine sense of focus and calm.

Come meet Julie and see her work at the Barossa Village Main Exhibition, 3–31 August, 14 Scholz Ave, Nuriootpa. Open Mon–Fri, 8:30am–4:30pm.

Two years ago, John had never picked up a paintbrush. Now painting Australian native birds is his passion.

John started with birds and quickly found his subject, having since painted several of the family dogs as well. He is honest that it takes real patience to get right, but says every bit of it is worthwhile.

For John, painting brings genuine joy and satisfaction, but it has given him something else too. It has become a way to connect with people, a reason to talk about art and share what he is working on, rather than simply painting alone at home. He admits it is still a little daunting, given how new this creative chapter is for him, but hearing positive feedback on his work is what keeps him picking up the brush.

Come meet John and see his work at the Barossa Village Main Exhibition, 3–31 August, 14 Scholz Ave, Nuriootpa. Open Mon–Fri, 8:30am–4:30pm.

Gisela did not pick up a paintbrush until she was 80 years old, and she has not put it down since.

With more time on her hands and a hobby she wanted to find, Gisela decided to give painting a try. It didn't take long before she realised nothing else quite compared. These days, painting is not just something she does. It is something she thinks about constantly, and even dreams about.

For Gisela, art is not just a pastime, it is her life. She believes it matters to be seen and appreciated by others, and there is a real joy in sharing her work and hearing what people think of it.

Proof that it is never too late to discover a passion that changes everything.

Come meet Gisela and see her work at the Barossa Village Main Exhibition, 3–31 August, 14 Scholz Ave, Nuriootpa. Open Mon–Fri, 8:30am–4:30pm.
