   I opened the gallery in 1997 to showcase my paintings and the woodcraft of this historic timber town.
   My originals are only sold from the Gallery and you will find many in the gallery not shown on the web site.

   Reproductions of my paintings are available as prints and letter cards.

	Woodcraft includes turned articles of local Rainforest timbers, unique freeform tables by Colin Buglar, boomerangs from local flame sheoak, and didgeridoos, including one with relief crocodile carving by Michael Go Sam. Original wood carvings by Buddy Smith are also available. He may be emailed direct at smiles@tpg.com.au See examples of his work on page, About the artists.	Carved didgeridoo by Michael Go Sam Maple table by Colin Buglar
	Raina Ham makes exquisite silver jewellery inspired by the distinctive fauna of this area; possum earrings and rings (Ravenshoe has 12 species of possum within 10 km of the town), frog bracelets, rings and brooches - even gecko rings. Each animal is a faithfully accurate but is woven into the total design.	Frog Ring by Raina

ROSEGUMS RAVENSHOE Original pastel by Winsome Board 670 mm 485mm 1999 Price: $2000 (this work is showcased in the magazine Pastel Artist International vol.6 nov/dec 2000)	GRANDMA ON THE INTERNET by Doug Berry, Ravenshoe That man from Retrovision, what a super salesman guy For to sell our ageing Grandma what she said she'd never buy - A state of art computer, it's a Pentium mark three With all those extra gadgets that's a mystery to me. The salesman said quite bluntly, "Some assistance you'll engage You just might strike some trouble it's not easy at your age." "Young man," she said quite firmly "Don't talk this foolish way I don't need your kind assistance I can learn it in a day." "The Y2K might bug you," warned the salesman, best beware" But Grandma fixed him in the eye, "Young man, it wouldn't dare." He shook his head, bewildered, "I wish you best of luck - I feel you're too ambitious, but phone me if you're stuck. But Grandma dug her heels in and sat up late each night - The word she used bewildered us, like RAM and gigabyte, And virtual reality and cyberspace and such, She learned to surf the internet, Seemed nothing proved too much. I've wondered what's her secret as the years creep up on me Why Grandma's growing younger yet it's not too hard to see - Seems Grandma has an interest and a mind alert and spry So perhaps I'll follow Grandma - and I'll phone that salesman guy.
