NOVEMBER 2025
The month of November 2025 will see the Wondai Regional Art Gallery Hosting three exhibitions.
‘In Autumn’ by Rozalia Lear (First Galllery)

It has been a few years since Rozalia stopped painting and she felt that there was something missing in her life that needed correction. Rozalia is one of those people that needs to keep active because she gets bored easily, so after moving into a retirement village and down sizing to a smaller size area for her to paint in, she had a break for a while but found that when painting is in your heart and not just in your mind she decided to give it another go but with something new like abstract and watercolour. Rozalia is looking forward to joining other wonderful artists in the next exhibition and to hear their opinion of her new painting ideas whatever that may be.
‘Visual Journeys: Connecting With Nature’ by Karol Oakley (Main Gallery)

Internationally acclaimed artist and Master Pastellist Karol Oakley invites audiences to step into a world of vibrant colour, light, and storytelling through her upcoming art exhibition. A long-time resident of Queensland’s South Burnett region, Karol is celebrated for her mastery of soft pastels—her chosen medium for over 38 years. Karol’s artwork captures the essence of Australia’s natural beauty, from rural and remote landscapes and delicate seascapes to intimate moments found in everyday scenes. Each piece is a visual story, inviting visitors to connect deeply with nature’s brilliance through colour, texture, and light. As a Master Pastellist with the Pastel Society of Australia, Karol Oakley’s reputation extends across borders. Her paintings are held in both national and international collections, and she has received numerous awards for her evocative and technically masterful works. Whether you are an art enthusiast, a collector, or simply someone who finds peace in beauty, Karol Oakley’s exhibition offers a unique opportunity to explore and reconnect with the natural world—without leaving the gallery.
‘En Plein Aire Sketching’ by Rural Sketchers South Burnett (Third Gallery)

Rural Sketchers South Burnett is an informal group of local sketchers started over 5 years ago. We meet the first Saturday of each month somewhere in the South Burnett. We enjoy sketching outside/en plein aire in a local country town, location or rural setting. We bring our own sketching kit, hat, chair and water bottle. There is no instruction given but as a congenial group, we share ideas and tips. After our sketching time, we gather at a local spot for a cuppa and a chat. All are welcome to join. FB page is Rural Sketchers South Burnett.
