The Winds Of Change Art Gallery in George Street, Nanango is showing paper tole craftworks by Rosemarie Matthews-Frederick throughout September.
Paper tole is a highly-skilled craft that creates 3D images from 2D prints.
Rosemarie, who recently exhibited some of her works at a world paper tole conference in the USA, is renowned as the region’s leading paper tole practitioner.
Her exquisite pieces inspire and delight with their incredible attention to detail and bursts of colour.
Rosemarie’s works have been regularly exhibited at the Wondai Regional Art Gallery and the Kingaroy Art Gallery, and they can be viewed at Winds Of Change every Monday to Saturday from 10:00am to 3:00pm
