Heaven + Home brings together four artists whose works gently explore refuge, imagination, and the places—both real and imagined—that shape how we feel held in the world.
Across painting, collage, and sculptural form, the exhibition reflects on home as an emotional landscape and heaven as fleeting moments of light, wonder, and stillness.
Together, these works offer quiet meditations on domestic spaces and inner worlds, inviting viewers to pause and consider where sanctuary, beauty, and belonging reside in their own lives.​​

THROUGH MY EYES
Date: November, 2026
Hours: 10am - 4pm
​
OPENING EVENT: TBC
​
Artists: Loreen Missen
​
Big skies, epic clouds, lapping waves, beach reflections, and gigantic trees—these are the elements that ground us, nurture us, relax us, and bring us back to centre. They are also the forces that urge Loreen to put paint on canvas.
​
Her work not only records the existence of these landscapes but also channels her emotional response to the vistas she encounters living and walking in the Otways. Loreen captures the shifting light, the movement of the clouds, and the awe of nature.
