The exhibition also contains artworks by Western Arrernte artists of Central Australia, Nelson Pannka, Maurice and Oscar Namatjira.
“Its such a talent-filled shire, I’m happy and humbled to be giving the community an opportunity to enjoy and support local artisans and craftspeople, to highlight the creations and joy that art can give,“ gallery owner Maxine Stibbe said. “It’s a gift that gives such pleasure, enhancing ones environment, giving time to reflect and think.
“If it gives you a sense of enjoyment or well being, invest in self with art. The happiness or delight that can be created is worth it.”
The exhibition has some extraordinary pieces from diverse artists, Australian watercolour landscapes, Sunshine Coast sandstone, contemporary photography, botanical art, functional art, surrealism, abstraction, ceramics, marble mosaic and so much more, she said.
The exhibition will be officially opened by Noosa councillor Karen Finzel this Friday 9 December from 6-8pm and run until 27 January at the gallery at Shop 11a /113 Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin Plaza.
