MAY 2022

‘Travelling with Sue’ by Sue Lederhose  (First Gallery)

The paintings in this exhibition are a snapshot of people and places that have caught Sue’s eye. They cover a huge area from New Zealand to Thailand to Canada, and within Australia the Northern Territory and all over north and central Queensland. Sue paints to express herself, to capture the essence of something that interested her. It may be the light, a colour, shape, or a reflection or a shadow.

 ‘Tole’d in Paper and Mixed Media’ by Rosemarie Matthew-Frederick (Main Gallery)

After a skiing accident in the USA in 1999 Rosemarie attended a craft show in Brisbane and then decided to start doing Paper Tole. Starting with a few simple kits she was delighted with the results. She took some pieces to the local craft group who asked her to teach. Having only just begun herself she was reluctant but soon found herself not only teaching them but also learning how to frame her own work. As a result she is now a self-taught Paper Tole Artist and Framer. She conducts workshops in Kingaroy and enjoys teaching and seeing her student’s faces when their work is finished and framed. Work by students who attend Rosemarie’s workshops are included in this exhibition.

‘The Spice of Life’ by Sue Warry (Third Gallery)

Sue Warry is a Wondai local with a passion for all things creative. She trained in fashion design and pattern making at college and later, fashion illustration. She taught herself acrylic and mixed media painting techniques and her first solo exhibition was of textured mixed media with clay and acrylic paint. She recently found great challenge and reward in exploring the use of watercolours and also the fun of pen and wash as a medium. Exploring various styles is the greatest source of fun and this exhibition is no exception. While some artworks are carefully planned, others are born out of experimentation as shapes are formed on the page and develop with line, colour, texture and shadow.
