The Art and Sculpture Gallery at The Art Hub Cooroy will be exhibiting the amazing creative artworks of Linda Evans, Kerry Keyte and Michael Mitchell.
Linda was born in East Java, Indonesia and grew up surrounded by an artistic family of talented creative drawing and accomplished musicians.
Arriving in Noosa in 2003 Linda had nothing but rudimentary ideas about painting and drawing. She has always appreciated the visual arts, having visited the world’s greatest art galleries.
Following a back injury in 2010 which impeded her from participating in all her favourite leisure sports for three months; she followed her friends suggestion to take up painting.
She started with water colour using books and then progressed to undertaking workshops with local established artists. Her works have been displayed in many of the coastal galleries and now will be exhibiting her works of art at The Art Hub Cooroy.
Kerry creates works of art in mixed media which gives her the ability to adapt and change her artwork inspired by the light and ocean lifestyle on the Sunshine Coast.
Her art has a reflective quality using light to bring up the colour and intensity of her artwork. She mainly works with resin, mosaic, wood and fused glass upcycling her objects into works of art.
Most of her artwork encompassing ocean themes or dramatic tones is practical which can be used and is not just ornamental art hung on the wall for display.
She describes her artwork as evolving – always experimenting and looking for new ways to creating and having fun.
Michael’s passion to work with wood has developed in creating unique handcrafted bowls and platters. He uses a diverse range of locally sourced timbers, and also makes children’s toys – cars, trucks and trains.
Exhibitions will run from 26 March until 23 April at 3/2 Emerald Street Cooroy. Meet the artists on opening night Friday 26 March from 5pm.
