Art meets winter warmth in the Gallery at Charlies... 🌊🛹✨
We are absolutely thrilled to host the incredible local artist, Christina Lynn McGrath, this coming June for her exhibition: Winter Flow.
June 4th - 28th inclusive.
Christina’s stunning work perfectly captures the movement and energy of our local area—from the rhythmic flow of ocean waves to the dynamic lines of skateboards. It’s a beautiful, vibrant celebration of coastal life that you won’t want to miss.
Escape the winter chill, grab yourself a treat & wander through our Gallery.
