The Art and Sculpture Gallery at The Art Hub Cooroy will be exhibiting the amazing creative artworks of Ann Caporn, Norma Street, Susan Moore, and Liz Crowe from 22 April until 20 May.
Meet the artists on opening night – Friday 22 April from 5pm at 3/2 Emerald Street, Cooroy.
Sunshine Coast resident Ann Caporn has been painting since she was a child and is influenced by the landscape and water.
Her style is traditional perhaps a little romantic. She mainly works in acrylics and uses oil paints for portraits. She is self taught and attended several workshops and thus developed her own unique style.
Norma Street was born in the Darling Downs and finally settling in Buderim. Norma is both visual and tactile. Her works largely inspired by nature and spirit, including still life, flowers, landscapes and seascapes. More recently Norma has evolved her painting to a modern abstract technique that requires more texture and layers, creating a 3D perception on that makes you feel you are part of the landscape and wanting to touch the painting.
Liz Crowe is from Canberra is more focused on working with clay. You cannot help but be there in the moment, she says, the practice demands that of you. Pottery is an ancient art form and humans have been creating with clay for thousands of years. Pottery has integrity; it is natural , enduring and honest.
Art obviously runs in the family, as fellow exhibitor Susan Moore is Liz’s sister.
After a lifelong interest in art, design and drawing, she discovered the craft of silver smithing. She instantly fell in love with the technical challenge and artistic possibilities of silver and other metals. This combined with her love of rocks, stones and fossils, gave her the incentive to seek to create beautiful original jewellery.
