The Portland Art Purchase Society have been busily preparing for their annual event that is now in its 44th year.
The Portland Art Exhibition has the enviable reputation of selling a high percentage of the works exhibited each year which has lead to it becoming one of the most successful regional art exhibitions in the area.
Blue Mountains artist, Natasha Daniloff, is this year's feature artist, and will have a variety of works on display showing her talent across a range of mediums.
Natasha's work has evolved over time, but she always comes back to the basics of drawing as the beginnings of her works.
