Kingaroy Art Gallery is filled this month by works by three very talented women, including pieces by a popular local artist who’s been keeping a low profile for the past few years.<\/p>\n

Cherry Carroll, who operated the highly regarded Nimue Art Gallery in King Street from 2010 to 2015, has works in Gallery 3.<\/p>\n

Her exhibition is dubbed, ironically, “I’m Still Standing”, and features both old and new works by the Kingaroy artist.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Art gallery curator Fran van Vegchel, who opened the exhibitions on Friday night, lured Cherry back into the spotlight and <\/b>thanked her for contributing so much over the years to the region’s arts community.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the main gallery, local artist A. K. “Andy” O’Sullivan has her exhibition, “Past Present Future”, which includes her “Fabric Of Society” series of acrylic-on-fabric portraits of South Burnett residents, many of whom turned up in person for Friday’s official opening night.<\/p>\n

Andy said her artworks were a search for “what is true and real”.<\/p>\n

She began the portrait series after moving to Memerambi about 18 months ago.<\/p>\n

In the back gallery, South African-born artist Elsebe Louw has large and colourful works in her exhibition, “Breath”.<\/p>\n

She told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> she had only taken up painting after moving to Australia about 14 years ago, and this was her first exhibition in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

“I like to make something beautiful to share with others,” she said.<\/p>\n

The three exhibitions will remain on show at the Kingaroy Art Gallery until May 29. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Entry into the gallery is free.<\/p>\n

The annual Queensland Winter Craft Festival will take over the gallery with works and workshops in June and July.<\/p>\n

The official opening will be held on June 2.<\/p>\n
