welcome

Welcome to the website of Lorraine McLoughlin and Peter Fitzgerald.

We have made Eliza Cottage our permanent home for nearly 20 years. Near Yankalilla in the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula of South Australia, 85km south from Adelaide, we pursue a life involved in the arts of the local community, as well as our own creative work.

Use menus above to navigate our individual pursuits, or links below for current postings.

My family history, Glimpses into the family heritage of Kevin and Sylvia Penny, was published mid-2022.

The public responds warmly to my portraits of artists in the Yankalilla Regional News. So far, I have interviewed Gilbert Dashorst, Karen Hammat, Andrew Munn, Wendy McPhee, Geoff Bromilow, Julie Perri and Kym Mitchell.

For last year’s publications see: Thinking on paper, and Elaine Haxton: A colourful artist and life. Send comments and orders via contact details on this site.

  Peter will exhibit at Coral Street Arts Centre, Victor Harbor with three other artists in July/August 2022 during SALA. See details.

In 2021, he exhibited in Stump Gallery McLaren Vale, Hindmarsh Valley and Festival Fleurieu. He was also part of an exhibition at Fleurieu Art House McLaren Vale. This featured work based on Arkaroola by fellow participants on annual trips there led by Sydney artists Peter Griffin and Paul Maklin.

seasons

 Wood fires and rain abound, accompanied by rural jobs aplenty but there is also time for hosting friends to Eliza Cottage, reading and music, painting and writing. We celebrated Peter’s 80th birthday in May and continue to be grateful for the richness of our world and health to enjoy it.
