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.

Meet Bistro, whose name you'll find signed right there on the canvas.

Painting found Bistro later in life and quickly became something much bigger than a hobby. It's his refuge, and as he puts it, it's kept him going ever since.

Last year his work was a hit at SALA, and Bistro is hoping to bring that same magic again. But ask him what he loves most about it, and it isn't the recognition. It's the joy of creating, and the beautiful friendships he's made through the Barossa Village art group along the way. He's proud of every piece he makes, no matter what anyone else thinks, and that's exactly the spirit we love about him.

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