The Art and Sculpture Gallery at The Art Hub Cooroy will be exhibiting the amazing creative artworks of Regina Vaughton, Kerry Keyte and Michael Mitchell.
Regina lived in Whyalla South Australia, Wollongong and Bundanoon in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. A year ago she and her husband moved to Noosa.
She worked for many years for BHP and studied at the South Australian School of Art and retired as a practicing psychologist in 2010. After retiring Regina resumed her lifelong interest in Art and has continued to develop her skills.
Regina enjoys experimenting with various mediums and her ink works in particular. She finds that there is a resemblance between the way nature creates patterns of colour in a landscape and the way water and pigment mixes together on paper.
There is always the element of the unexpected that happens when painting in this medium and creates a unique visual experience.
Regina said, “In some of the pieces in this exhibition I explored the idea of how nature depicts the colours and patters of heat and fire”.
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 which are practical and can be used not just as 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.
Visit The Art Hub Cooroy on opening night to meet the exhibiting artists scheduled for Friday 23 April.
The exhibition will run from 23 April to 1 May at 3/2 Emerald Street, Cooroy. For more information call 5447 6155.
