Kurrajong Client’s Amazing Artworks

Kurrajong Supported Independent Living, West Wyalong client Lesley has been working extremely hard alongside staff at West Wyalong Lifestyle Choices to produce some spectacular artwork.

Lesley had a goal of having her paintings in an art exhibition on display and sold. However, her chosen exhibition no longer was available, so we thought of another platform where her artwork could be on display for all to see and admire – on the walls at Kurrajong!

We have purchased the paintings to be displayed in the Leeton, Narrandera, and Griffith Supported Living and Lifestyle Choices facilities.

Lesley said, ‘ooh goody, I can’t believe I’ve sold some; this makes me very happy!’
When asked what she was going to do with the money from the sale of her artwork, she said, ‘I’m going to buy myself some jewellery’.

Lesley is looking forward to seeing her artwork on display at Kurrajong.
