🎨 ART WITH A HEART: Supporting Local Talent & Inclusive Employment 🎨

We are honored to share that South Australian artist Lynette Kring is a key supporter of our upcoming Orange Basket Breakfast Fundraiser!

Lynette Kring is a renowned South Australian artist whose work is defined by its vibrant energy, intricate detail, and deep emotional resonance. Known for her ability to transform everyday objects into soulful masterpieces, Lynette’s artistic vision brings a unique "Sunlit Morning" spirit to the local South Australian art scene.

When we officially open the doors to the new Orange Basket Cafe on January 29, you will immediately feel Lynette’s incredible influence. Located within the Second Chances Community Hub at 2/39 O'Sullivans Beach Road, Lonsdale, her stunning artworks are currently being installed to transform our venue into a living gallery that celebrates local creativity.

Lynette is a passionate advocate for community and social inclusion. In a generous act of support for our mission as a not-for-profit providing employment for people living with disabilities, she is donating a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted mannequin for this fundraiser.

This bespoke original—bold, expressive, and deeply symbolic—will be a centerpiece of our Live Auction. By participating in the auction for this Lynette Kring original, you are not only acquiring a significant piece of local art but also standing in solidarity with a vision of a more inclusive workforce.

We invite you to experience Lynette’s current exhibition in person at the Orange Basket Cafe – Lonsdale and witness the incredible masterpiece she has donated to help build the future of Orange Basket.
