Visit the Art Hub Cooroy to view exceptional works of art from four accomplished artists exhibiting this month.
Resident artists Gaye Cook, Roxanne Marie, Jennie Lisha, and Peter Scott will be exhibiting from 20 August to 24 September.
Gaye Cook grew up on the Sunshine Coast where she has painted most of her life but took it up consistently in 1998 under the tutelage of Sharon Ford.
She began with pastels, an unforgiving medium, and more recently added acrylic and collage to the media she uses.
The subject matter of her work tends to explore the narrative as she loves a painting that tells a story.
Gaye said, “A painting is a conversation between the artist and the viewer.“
Sunshine Coast artist Roxanne Marie celebrates visual expression through a kaleidoscope of colour, light and brilliance as framed artworks and unique hand-painted silk art.
She is also exploring the intriguing aspects of more abstract work using a range of techniques and mixed media.
For each art piece, she considers the visual language and medium, then develops a complexity of layers that entice the viewer to become a part of the artwork through their personal experience and interpretation.
Gold Coast artist Jennie Lisha studied art at school, then at North Sydney Technical College in 1982 graduated at Gold Coast Tafe with a Certificate of Studio Ceramics.
She loved poetry since she started in 1989. Jennie has had an amazing evolvement in her artistic career retailing through an outlet in the Rocks and the Opera House Markets in Sydney.
She now specialises in porcelain jewellery which are all one-off pieces. She has exhibited in many group exhibitions on the Gold Coast and Sydney.
Peter Scott lives on the Sunshine Coast, and learnt his ceramic art whilst living in Kanzawa, Ishikawa, and Japan.
Prior to Covid, he developed a ritual of returning to Japan every two years where his son lives with his family.
During his visits to Japan, Peter has been able to further his artistic air and learn new modalities in this fascinating art form.
Art lovers are encouraged to participate in the People’s art choice ballot to win one of the artist prizes. The ballot will be drawn at the end of the exhibition.
