Noosa artist Julia Carter will be spreading the love with a free community event at the Noosa Library to celebrate their 50 years of service.
The colourful creator will be discussing her journey as an artist, the way Noosaville Library and Wallace Park are interwoven in this journey, and her recently published book Love Always.
Julia said she was looking forward to celebrating with the Noosa community on Wednesday 19 April.
“Over 30 years ago, I coordinated a big local arts festival Aqueous, which included many art groups, a children’s festival, a big exhibition at the regional, school bands, many local businesses, the opening of Wallace House and the Environment Centre, and then later setting up the Leisure Centre,“ she said.
“Around 10 years later after preschool teaching and a serious accident, I found myself back at the library laying on the floor in plaster, reading self-help books. Then turning to art as therapy I was lucky enough to begin showing my paintings in the library foyer (20 years ago) and greatly supported. Before long I was showing my work in London, Paris, New York, and Hong Kong.
“Now with my little book and time to pause, it’s my time to share, and hopefully help others on their journey.
“I’m so grateful to be part of the wonderful Noosa community, and this event (which is taking great shape) is something I’m deeply honoured to be part of.“
A selection of Julia’s paintings will be exhibited in the library from 4-30 April 2023.
The Book Talk and Exhibition will be held at Noosa Library from 6-7.30pm on Wednesday 19 April. Bookings required (limited places available).
