Cretaceous Creatures Exhibition by Leila Day.
Dinosaurs, pre-historic marine creatures, and reptiles on canvas, sculpture and jewellery at the Cretaceous Creatures SALA FESTIVAL Exhibition-
Discover South Australia’s only Dinosaur and more creatures from the Cretaceous. This exhibition is a paleoart and design fusion with a vivid play of colour. Did you know South Australia’s only Dinosaur was discovered in Andamooka? Discover that and more creatures from the Cretaceous period presented in an array of colours.
Sculptures, jewellery and mixed media on canvas represent opalised fossils and creatures from prehistoric Australia, Australia’s ancient inland sea and Karkuru Kujani, South Australia’s very own therapod from the early Cretaceous period.
