Artist leaves a splash in Rundle Mall

Heartfelt Connections sees Melbourne contemporary artist Janine Daddo arrive at Adelaide Central Plaza for a vibrant two-day city showcase in the centre of Rundle Mall.

Known for capturing the charged moments between people, her works explore connection, closeness and the energy of modern life, amplified in full colour.

This showcase reflects the full breadth of her practice. From intimate paintings to large- scale statement works, striking sculptures and collectible design pieces including vases, candles and jewellery, Heartfelt Connections offers a rare opportunity to experience the scope of Daddo’s creative world in one setting.
