HANNAH GOGGS &
JAQUELINE BURGESS
Don’t miss these outstanding shows
It’s the final week for our two brilliant new shows - Water Holds Memory by Jaqueline Burgess and Cocktail Party by Hannah Goggs (aka Moody Rabbit).
Water Holds Memory is a deeply evocative collection of landscapes and still life works by south coast-based artist Jaqueline Burgess. With intricate detail and emotional depth, Jaqueline explores the quiet power of land and water — where reflective creeks, mossy boulders and native flora hold memory, time and feeling.
Cocktail Party is a joyful, colour-filled show by Queensland-based painter Hannah Goggs. Created after a big interstate move, this new body of work bursts with Australian flora, fauna, cocktails and charm — celebrating new beginnings and the beauty of everyday moments.
These shows are absolutely stunning and a must-see. You can see them in person 10-3 Thursday to Monday, or check them out online at the links below.

Tyger: the region’s most beautiful art gallery
To create Tyger, we’ve taken a derelict and neglected space in the heart of this historic town and turned it into the region’s most beautiful art gallery.
It’s a must-see and must-visit in the Canberra region.
We have an incredible line up of shows and workshops happening throughout the year.
Tyger Gallery is open Thursday-Monday 10-3pm (Sunday 11-3pm). Other times are available by appointment.
