Whimsy and imagination at Pomona Gallery

Young Sunshine Coast artist Frances Anschutz is exhibiting her artworks of whimsy and imagination at the Pomona Railway Station Gallery during February.

Frances’s show, Memories of Imaginary Friends, explores and reinterprets the characters and experiences of the Winnie the Pooh stories. These stories resonate throughout our culture with an enduring mystery and enchantment that still touches many.

The dynamic works in this exhibition express a personal connection to the characters through the representation of their expressive imaginings and adventures.

Frances’s practice spans the mediums of drawing, painting, watercolour and digital and video art. She is an individual on the autism spectrum and is firmly established in her art practice, having exhibited solo at the Cooroy Butter Factory Arts Centre in September 2017.

Memories of Imaginary Friends will formally open at 11am, Saturday 4 February. The show runs until 1 March.

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.
