Pomona Railway Station Gallery is hosting two exceptional exhibitions in March.

Well-known Pomona artist, Glen Buckley, is teaming with friend and first-time exhibitor, Gabe Makeig to present their exhibition, titled Stylised Abstraction.

While Glen is renowned for his distinctive, stylised line drawings Gabe prefers energetic abstract paintings.

All of Glen’s works in this exhibition are stylized drawings of roses on paper with pen, ink and watercolour.

Gabe uses acrylic paint and says she loves energetic art that makes her feel a connection to a painting or a given mood.

The exhibition will run from 2 March to 27 March in The Gallery’s Banana Shed.

Ellenie Kirkman, 17, a talented Year 12 student who has her sights firmly set on a career as an artist will exhibit her work from 2 March to 3 April in The Carriage Room at The Gallery.

Ellenie, The Gallery’s youngest member, studies with the Sunshine Coast’s internationally acclaimed artist, Karen Osborne, and is also planning to study at an art school in Italy.

Her exhibition, titled ‘Gifts from Artemis’ Table’ is the title of her exhibition. Artemis is the Greek Goddess of young womanhood.

The young artist hopes to follow in the footsteps of both her artist mother and grandmother, both of whom she says have inspired her from a very young age.

Ellenie’s exhibition will be officially opened by Gallery president, Ron Collins, at 11am on 12 March.

The not-for-profit Pomona Railway Station Gallery is at 10 Station St, Pomona. Opening hours are 10am to 4pm Tuesday to Friday; 10am to 2pm Saturday and Sunday.
