ART TRAIL
The Loviz Arts Gallery within the Rydges Resort Hunter Valley is the central place to view and purchase my art. But along my art trail, there are over a dozen charming venues where you can immerse yourself in my vibrant, cheeky artwork, prints, gifts, and even delicious, Loviz-labelled Cider. Follow my kisses along the Loviz Art Trail to enjoy a multi-layered experience that incorporates art that I have kissed with gorgeous vineyards to visit, tantalising wines to be tasted, and decadent gourmet food to eat, all the while surrounded by breath-taking views.
