May 15, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well-known South Burnett pastel artist Karol Oakley is about to follow her painting “Rhythm of Life” to the USA.<\/p>\n

Karol\u2019s painting has been entered into the International Association of Pastel Societies (IAPS) Pastel World Exhibition and Awards.<\/p>\n

Her painting was selected from entries submitted by artists from all around the world for a place on the exhibition’s wall and the opportunity to be part of this prestigious bi-annual event.<\/p>\n

The Pastel World Exhibition is considered the Grand Prix of the pastel world.<\/p>\n

“I am very excited to be part of this major world pastel event,” Karol told southburnett.com.au<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“It is a huge honour to be selected, and such a compliment to my work.”<\/p>\n

Pastellists from all over the world attend the IAPS Convention run in conjunction with the Exhibition, which is held in Albuquerque, New Mexico.<\/p>\n

“I am looking forward to meeting so many other pastellists and learning the latest and greatest in pastel techniques and materials,” Karol said.<\/p>\n

Karol’s painting is being prepared for travel and presentation at the awards by trusted local framer Helen Greenslade of Hilltop Picture Framing in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

The painting leaves Australia in a few days and Karol will follow at the end of the month to reconnect with “Rhythm of Life” at the premier opening night in June.<\/p>\n

After the IAPS convention, Karol will be travelling on to California as an invited participant of the Los Gatos Plein Air Week, to paint outdoors with 35 other selected artists. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Karol is the only international artist invited to this event, which is a fundraiser for the Los Gatos Morning Rotary Club to help local and international Rotary projects.<\/p>\n

“Again, this is a first for me,” Karol said.<\/p>\n

“Painting in the great outdoors (en plein-air) is a favourite of mine, and to be invited to the USA is amazing.<\/p>\n

“All the paintings produced during Plein Air Week be presented for sale at an art fair, and any sales that are made will be going to LGMRotary.<\/p>\n

“Really what goes around comes around, and I’m very proud to be part of this group,” Karol said.<\/p>\n

Because the South Burnett’s RADF doesn’t cover international project funding, Karol has turned to other sources to help raise the funds needed for the trip. <\/strong><\/p>\n

There are small paintings for sale on her web site<\/b><\/a> under $110, including postage.<\/p>\n

A GoFundMe<\/b><\/a> page has also been set up.<\/p>\n

“While parts of the project have been paid for, there are parts that need help. And with only weeks to take-off, any help is greatly appreciated.” Karol said.<\/p>\n

While she is in the USA, Karol will be posting updates about the trip on Facebook and her website.<\/p>\n
