Tai Snaith’s illustrations come alive in a new exhibition of original artworks that celebrate wondrous diurnal and nocturnal creatures from around the world.

Following on from her highly successful 2023 solo exhibition Hierarchy of Needs at Bayside Gallery, Naarm-based artist and author Tai Snaith returns with a new exhibition that brings together nocturnal animals from her most recent book Wonders Under the Moon, alongside framed originals, animations and dioramas from Wonders Under the Sun.

This vibrant exhibition celebrates hundreds of diurnal and nocturnal creatures from around the world, all handmade with love and skill using a range of techniques.

The show is suitable for primary and secondary school–aged children and is an ideal excursion opportunity, offering a fun and engaging way to learn about biodiversity and habitat protection.
