Shellharbour Airport is proud to present its inaugural art exhibition, transforming the terminal into an unexpected cultural destination. Anna Glynn: South Coast Myths & Tales invites visitors on a vivid journey through the artist’s imaginative and historical interpretations of the South Coast. 

Free and fully accessible, the exhibition is open to everyone. With convenient onsite parking, accessible facilities, and the Greenacres Airport Café serving drinks and light meals, it’s easy to drop in and enjoy the artworks—whether you’re travelling, meeting friends, or simply exploring something new. 

Across the terminal, vibrant works from Glynn’s Bundanon Series bring the local bush to life with theatrical colour and character. Playful pieces such as Squid Juggling on Jervis Bay offer lively moments of humour, while imagined and real South Coast fauna appear throughout works including Sussex Inlet and Kangaroo Valley Myth. 

Further inside, the tone deepens with reflective river scenes such as Shoalhaven Drowning and Drowning Bundanon, inviting quiet contemplation. 

Together, these works create a trail of history, emotion and imagination—revealing Glynn’s curiosity and her passion for exploring the rich connections between people, place and nature.
