pARTners in Colour

Kathryn & Ray Roney

4 May - 14 June


We didn’t start painting until later in life, but once we picked up the tools, we were hooked. What began as a creative experiment quickly grew into something more, not just a hobby, but a shared passion.


Painting together has become one of our greatest joys. It’s a mix of play, colour, laughter, and imagination — something we both look forward to and cherish. We’re especially drawn to bold, vibrant colours that make us feel alive and spark joy.


pARTners in Colour is a celebration of our creative journey and the joy we find in making art side by side. It’s a reminder that it’s never too late to try something new, and that sometimes, the best things in life begin with a splash of colour.

Painting in Colour

Peta Uthmeyer

6 - 26 April


This collection of works brings together my love of the human face and figure. 


I work freely with an Abstract Style, each painting evolves as I build up layers of paint with loose brush strokes allowing surprises to occur. Some paintings are spontaneous and resolve quickly while others take time.


My paintings are a reflection of my love of colour and creative play, nothing complex just to bring some pleasure to the viewer.

WHY

Around the Corner - Donna Rawlinson

2 - 29 March


Why? It’s a big question for any artist, but for me, the answer has always felt natural. This body of work stems from a deep desire to share my love for this region and the unique, often overlooked structures that surround us. Through these sketches, I hope you find a connection to the streets and roads just around the corner from your home—and perhaps, they become a little more significant to you.


"Just around the corner" is a phrase I’ve always loved, often used when describing the location of a building. And I love buildings. They shape our towns, tell our stories, and spark conversation. They hold memories, evoke emotions, and can be both vulnerable and controversial. A building provides shelter, but it can also leave a legacy.


I want to see the special ones endure. Wear and tear shouldn’t be an excuse for their removal. When they disappear, so does a piece of our identity.

Entropy

Jennifer Matthews

2 - 22 February


I have selected “Entropy” as the title of this exhibition as I feel it encapsulates the devastation, degradation, ruination, and decay of the state of the planet we live in today.


The exhibition continues with my interpretation of the irreversible cause and consequence of global warming and climate change on the environment.

* Intense droughts and lakes drying up causing increase in harmful blue-green algae
* Bushfires, flooding and scarcity of water
* Long term change in weather patterns and the disruption of the balance of nature.

Each artwork has a corresponding Haiku poem (traditionally about nature) which adds another layer for interpretation of the visual image.


Jennifer Matthews, MFA by Research from La Trobe University, Mildura, has been a practicing artist for over 30 years.
