Sunshine and abstraction at the Pomona Gallery in June

Anne Kerr rock art.

Water, rock, leather, glass! Artists Tom Kerr, Anne Kerr, Ken Walker and Clancy Patrick blend their creativity for their Sunshine State of Mind exhibition at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery in June.

Their exhibition provides a mixture of approaches, textures and mediums, delighting the eye. Tom Kerr’s paintings are bright, boldly colourful, fun loving and lively with movement, with water a common feature.

Using collected rocks as her canvas, Anne Kerr looks for shapes and patterns in the natural world to inspire her drawing.

Glass artist Ken Walker knows his medium uses light to its fullest potential, and the blues and greens of the ocean are his particular inspiration.

Leather artist Clancy Patrick hand stitches his functional pieces made from locally sourced, vegetable-tanned kangaroo and cowhide, with natural tannins used to tan the leather.

A Sunshine State of Mind is on show in the gallery’s Carriage Room from 3 to 28 June.

Meanwhile, the gallery’s Banana Shed will show Abstract Action, a new exhibition from artist Jan Murphy. From mountains to faces, nothing is safe from her abstract designs, full of colour and vibrance.

Abstract Action is on from 27 May to 21 June. Come along between 10-1 every Saturday and Sunday of the show to see Jan demonstrating her technique.

Pomona Railway Station Gallery is at 10 Station Street Pomona. Opening hours are 10am-4pm Tuesday to Friday and 10am to 2pm Saturday and Sunday.
