JUNE 2025

The month of June will see the Wondai Regional Art Gallery hosting three exhibitions:

’40 Days in My Sketchbook’ by Sue Warry (First Gallery)

An artist’s sketchbook, or art journal, is a treasure trove of jumbled thoughts, new ideas and captured moments. From rough scribbles, to finished works, the pages are a reflection of the journey. In the 40 days leading up to this exhibition, I have put onto paper a sample of the many ideas that have come to mind. While not always perfect, the ideas are a snapshot of the steps and processes over this limited time. This is my fourth solo exhibition and contains watercolour, mixed media and collage works.

‘Colours of My Life’ by Elly Stern (Main Gallery)

Creativity is my passion. I knew as a child that my aspirations were to become an artist. I have spent the last 40 years teaching abled and disabled people art. Although I majored in painting at Alexander Mackie Sydney, I have many other artistic skills including sculpture (wood, hebel, and clay), drawing, pottery, modern art, primitive art, print making, collage, mixed media, charcoal, landscape painting, and figure drawing, to mention a few. 2009 was a major breakthrough for me, as I had a sculpture featured in the Currumbin Swell Festival. 2010 was an even bigger year for me, as I exhibited my own works, and the works of my students at the time at the Robina Gallery, on the Gold Coast, entitled ‘Inspirations from Within’. I have designed t-shirts (proudly sold in Australian retail outlets), designed greeting cards for John Sands, and illustrated a children’s book by the name of, ‘Crockanga‘ which was all about Australian wildlife that taught children about pollution. I have had exhibitions with The Sculptor’s Society and The Potter’s Society and was editor of the Sculptor’s Society newsletter. My influences are African (my place of birth), Modigliani for his elongated forms, and Picasso and Matisse for their use of colour. At present, I teach adult art from my home at ‘The Dawn’ in the Gympie region

‘Changing Landscapes’ by Ginny Hague (Third Gallery)

Ginny has exhibited in group exhibitions over the years and at Wondai Regional Art Gallery two years ago. This exhibition is about city and country landscapes with some wildlife and in all weather conditions.
