Models for the art exhibition that took place at the Lakeview Mall recently pose with their portraits.

Long-time Lakes District artist Gerda Volz gathered together a group of local artists - Lorna Hannett, Lynne Martens and Barb Clarkson - to do the portraits of Lakes District mothers and grandmothers.

Hannett has played cards with these women every week for 10 years, and several of them have been playing together for 25-30 years. “I wanted to honour them as pioneers of this area and the wonderful women that they are,” said Hannett.
