The exhibition was opened by long-time supporter Neil McLeod of Neil
McLeod Fine Arts Studio and Burrinja exhibition curator JD Mittmann.
Isabel Foster has a passion for colour. Over her 45 year career she has created a body of work which shows her lifetime's devotion to needle and thread. Her textiles are bright, bold and bizarre.
The exhibition features embroideries, weavings, tapestries, patchworks and 'crazy' knitting.
