Ask Pinbarren artist, Suellen Tompkins what inspires her and she’ll quickly respond: “One word -colour!”
Suellen’s exhibition, Chromascape: Landscapes in Colour, opens on Saturday 31 August at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery.
After a corporate career and a recent sailing adventure, Suellen is exploring the use of colour in landscape painting from her Noosa Hinterland studio.
“I am constantly inspired by the power of colour and how it can evoke different moods, a sense of place, and an emotional response. Because of this, my work explores the use of colour to create a different view of the natural world,“ Suellen said.
Raised in Thailand, Hong Kong and Australia, Suellen has been painting and drawing “forever”. However, it’s in the last two years since moving to the Sunshine Coast that she has been more focused and intentional.
Suellen’s exhibition will continue at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery until Wednesday 25 September. The gallery is open 10am-4pm Monday to Friday and 10am-2pm Saturday and Sunday.
