The power of art to lift the spirt and take viewers beyond the mundane will be on display in a painting exhibition featuring works by Judy Currie and Claire Howden at Crows Nest Gallery from August 21 to September 15, 2024.
Titled, Connection Through Colour, the exhibition celebrates art, colour and creativity and the power of art to transcend the conventional, the routine and the everyday.
Through their art, Judy and Claire have discovered parts of themselves that had been hidden - boldness, fun, connection with others, positivity, focus, and especially, the value of 'giving it a go'.
Claire uses bold colour in her expressive paintings and Judy's works, while seemingly 'traditional', always contain an unexpected splash or use of colour.
"It is the contrast of colour that inspires me. The vibrancy of earth and sky in the country transfixes me," Claire said.
