Discover the beauty of place, memory and landscape at @beechworthcontemporaryartspace with Return to Landscape, a captivating solo exhibition by emerging North East Victorian artist Aleisha Finn.
Inspired by her return to the countryside near Yackandandah, Finn`s large-scale oil and charcoal works explore the connection between memory, nature and the landscapes that shape us. Vibrant, expressive and immersive, these paintings blur the line between abstraction and representation.
A stunning exhibition not to be missed. Free entry, with all works available for purchase.

Kick things off with a coffee and toastie from @tiny.beechworth then take a gentle stroll around Lake Sambell. Feeling brave? Book a session at @stillwatersaunas for some well-earned rest.
When hunger strikes, head to the @stanleypub_vic for cosy vibes and great food. Spend the afternoon browsing the unique shops on Ford and Camp Streets, or duck into the Burke Museum and @beechworthhistoricprecinct to explore the fascinating natural history collection.

Winter is one of the best times to visit Woolshed Falls, with recent rain bringing the granite cascades to life.
Just a short drive from Beechworth, this iconic spot is putting on a spectacular show, with water rushing through the landscape and scenic lookout spots offering plenty of photo opportunities.
If you`re heading out to explore, take care around wet rocks and creek crossings. Wear sturdy shoes, stick to marked tracks and keep a safe distance from the water`s edge, as conditions can be slippery after rain.
