Solo exhibition “Tropivonio” – original paintings by Margo Humphries at Windale Hub Windale Hub, bilyabayi, 20 Lake St, Windale 19 February 2026 – 19 May 2026 Mondays to Fridays 9am to 5pm; Saturdays 9am – 12pm
This solo exhibition by Margo Humphries reveals the numerous styles practised by the artist and how this wide variety of anything and everything meets bursts of bright colour.
Margo is a very active Lake Macquarie-based visual artist who has had a stall at every Art Bazaar since 2012. Margo also joined the Hunter Arts Network committee that year and is currently the Publicity Officer. Margo is originally from Taree and moved to the area 22 years ago. Margo has a visual vocabulary – her original paintings, textiles and hand painted patterns have made her known for her bright colourful ideas and wide variety of different styles. The energy in Margo’s creations appears to be limitless. Margo loves creating works that you could stare at for hours, and is always busy creating new works to keep up with the demand of her best selling art. For Margo, the creative voyage along the way is equally significant as the outcome.

Thank you to all who visited our first indoor Art Bazaar today and supported our stallholders including myself! The new big space at St Therese’s Primary School in New Lambton was a great venue to showcase the wide variety of fabulous work! Overall a very successful and enjoyable day and also very pleasing to have such a large crowd. I sold one of my paintings which was a bonus!
We look forward to being there again at our next Art Bazaar in August!
