IN commemoration of this year’s Anzac centenary, members of Tinbeerwah Art Group have compiled a special exhibition paying tribute to those who put their lives on the line during World War I.
The collection of around 30 artworks includes a variety of media, styles and subjects each which not only captures ones attention but tells a story that comes from the heart.
Co-ordinator Lyn Fraser-Roberts said the group, most of whom had some connection with WWI, wished to do something to show their respects.
Her beautiful painting, ‘Unknown Soldier’ has been donated to the Tewantin/Noosa RSL.
The original idea for exhibition however came from local Joy Anderson, whose father is an original Anzac.
Joy said that the painting of these works was something that had quite an emotional impact on the group.
“At the start it was very emotional – people were finding it difficult to capture war due to it being so personal.”
It is this emotion however which has ensured a breathtaking exhibition to be viewed by all generations.
The Tinbeerwah Art Group’s Gallipoli exhibition is on display at the CWA Hall, Tewantin.
Viewing times are 10am to 4pm daily, through until Sunday 26 April.
