PIXELS IS a new gallery opening soon inside the Deloraine Online Access Centre. It will be a gallery with a difference, as works will be displayed across 6 digital screens.

The first exhibition running for the month of November is Mole Creek photographer Leanne Osmond’s ‘Along the Way’ series. Taken in Meander Valley, it includes images of sunrays, fog-filled landscapes, frolicking lambs, rainbows, frozen icicles, spider webs, autumn colours and much more.

Describing her interest in photography Leanne explains “I first took an interest in photography at age 10, when my grandmother gave me my first camera, a Kodak Instamatic.

My love of nature was further encouraged by many nature walks with my uncle over the years, but it wasn’t until 2005, when I bought my first digital camera, that I found the perfect outlet to express my love of nature."

Leanne has appeared as a guest on the TV programme Postcards, which showcased a number of her stunning misty landscape images. Leanne’s work is also featured in the 2017 Bureau of Meteorology’s ‘Australian Weather Calendar’ and has been featured in a number of council calendars.

Her images have appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald, Gardening Australia and other magazines, as well as been used on the front cover of a tourism magazine, a book about the Adelaide Hills, and also on numerous business websites.

“If visitors wish to purchase any of the photos or digital artworks they can be printed in a number of different sizes on a choice of archival quality paper or canvas,” explains gallery manager Joanne Eisemann.

Equipment for the gallery space was enabled by a grant from the Department of State Growth’s Community Infrastructure Fund, and will be used for a number of other purposes including computer training, the promotion of local events and live streaming to enable online gaming.

Pixels will be open 10.00am - 4.00pm Monday to Friday, 10.00am - 3.00pm on Saturdays and 10.00am to 1.00pm on Sundays from 1st November.
