Rita has been creating for as long as she can remember, moving between music, drawing and fabric work over the years.

Portraits have always held a special place for Rita, alongside a love of painting flowers. For her, art has never been about ambition or recognition. It is simply something she has always loved doing, and something that brings her a real sense of fulfilment.

Rita is refreshingly matter of fact about it. She does not create to become known or to chase any particular goal. She does it purely because she enjoys the process, and because she loves being involved in something creative.

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

Rita was around 80 years old when she picked up painting for the very first time.

Alongside painting, Rita has always kept her hands busy with knitting and crochet. For her, it has never really been about one particular craft. It is about staying active and creating something, rather than sitting still. As Rita puts it, that has just never been for her.

She takes it all in her stride too, with a good sense of humour about the process. Not everything turns out exactly as planned, but that has not stopped her from enjoying every bit of it, or from being genuinely proud when a piece comes together just right.

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

Moss spent years crafting jazz archtop guitars, violins and mandolins by hand, until health issues meant he could no longer stand at a workbench.

Rather than stepping away from creating altogether, Moss found a new way in. He noticed people around him enjoying painting by numbers and diamond art, and realised it was something he could do sitting down. He has not looked back since.

Moss has found real satisfaction in his diamond art projects, and there is a particular joy in seeing them on display for others to enjoy. He is looking forward to showing his work at Barossa Village and the Joy Rice Centre this year, and is excited to share what he has been able to create.

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

Miriam's love of craft began at just six years old, taught to her by her grandmother.

That early foundation in knitting, crocheting, embroidery and sewing became a lifelong passion. While painting has taken a back seat in recent years, Miriam keeps her hands busy with an impressive range of skills, from card making and jewellery making to cross stitch and crochet.

For Miriam, it is all about the satisfaction of trying something new and seeing it come together. There is a real sense of pride in creating something she feels is good enough to share, and having that work acknowledged means everything.

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