Pomona Railway Station Gallery is proud to present ’Footsteps in the Sand’, an exhibition of pastels by artist Gail Williams.
Gail has painted many seascapes inspired by childhood holidays spent at Kings Beach Caloundra.
A deep affinity for the Sunshine Coast began way back then – the sea, the surf, the headlands and coves, the rock platforms and of course, the glorious skies, and after a working life in Brisbane then Sydney, she has been able to move here and renew that love affair and capture It.
Her work often features pathways to the beach, bringing all the joy and expectation, of venturing down that pathway through sunshine and shadows, or reflections of skies and clouds, again capturing an escape from your ordinary world.
Gail’s paintings have sold in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne as well as finding homes in New Zealand, Germany and Vietnam and, of course, here on the coast.
Gail has been a supporter of Wishlist Art Auction and her paintings are hung on the walls of the maternity unit at the Sunshine Coast University Hospital. She is also very proud that a recent artwork has gone to a newly created parents’ retreat space on the children’s ward, helping create a calm environment for parents and carers of very ill children.
This exhibition, ’Footsteps in the Sand’, showcases her love of both the pastel medium and her love of all things beach. The exhibition will run from 1 May to 2 June in the Carriage Room at 10 Station Street Pomona.
