Introduction


​The Lions Club of Lorne was established in 1970.  The Club is comprised of a small team of men and women who work tirelessly to raise funds to provide financial and other support to worthy causes within Lorne and also to initiatives of Lions International. For most of those 48 years, the Lions Club of The Lions has contributed to a wide range of community projects, mostly here in Lorne.  Sporting clubs, emergency services, the hospital, church groups and individuals with particular needs; all have been beneficiaries of the Lions Club.  The motto of Lions is “We Serve”.  

The Easter Art Show is well supported by the community of Lorne and the visitors who come to Lorne during the Easter holiday period.  The 2018 Easter Art Show was particularly successful:

Over $38,000 worth of paintings sold
More than a third of all entries were sold
60% of artists sold at least one work

The official opening of the 2019 Easter Art Show will take place on the evening of Thursday 18th April 2019.  The show will be open each day over Easter from 10:00am until 5:00pm and will close at midday on Monday 22nd April, 2019.

Our Judge - Cynthia Wynhoven

Cynthia is a local practising artist. During her career as a teacher in Australia and Canada she used art widely as an effective teaching tool. Later upgrading to a Bachelor of Education with an art major, she was introduced to collage and has mostly worked with found objects ever since.

On retirement her art quickly moved from hobby status to becoming a serious pursuit, in a purpose built studio by the ocean.  She has been exhibiting her work since the early 1980s at various School and Community Art Shows, local galleries and Clubs. 

Solo exhibitions:-
1985 and 1987 Makers Gallery, Sandringham - Collages in textiles
2003   Mark’s Restaurant Lorne -  “Lotti” series of paintings  
2008  Eagles Nest Gallery, Aireys Inlet -”Something Fishy” – collages from beach debris and found objects
2010/11 Old Lorne Road Olives Gallery  - A retrospective and latest collages 
2013 Lorne Information Centre  -  “Thong Art “

Cynthia has convened numerous Art Shows for clubs and schools as well as being a judge and for over 25 years helped the Lorne Lions Club with their annual Easter Art Show by hanging the artworks.  

Before retiring as arts writer in 2010, she wrote for the Lorne Independent for nearly 10 years.  Cynthia and her husband, Jack, were the inaugural President and Secretary of the Lorne Sculpture Biennale in 2007.  Currently, her work is exhibited at Eagles Nest Gallery, Aireys Inlet.
