This will be followed by a brief performance by the African Drumming Group Hit 'n' Miss to showcase women with rhythm, and to get your feet dancing and your heart singing.
Artists
Shakir Rayman has always enjoyed drawing, sketching and painting. He has been exploring different mediums and has found his nook with acrylics. More recently he has been exploring impressionism with landscape.
Stephanie Boyle has been a member of the Allsorts Collective since they coalesced in around 2016. Before then, she undertook a variety of open art courses at Megalo Workshop and Canberra School of Art between 1999 and 2010, and attended sessions at Canberra Art Workshop (CAW), various Canberra based sketch clubs and the Artist Society of Canberra art group.
