Wondai Regional Art Gallery is hosting a special travelling exhibition which features “wildflowering” by some of Queensland’s top women artists.<\/p>\n

“Wildflowering By Design” is part of a series of “Wild\/flower Women” exhibitions which have toured galleries in Caloundra, Noosa, Gympie, Bundaberg and Hervey Bay.<\/p>\n

The Wondai exhibition has been curated by Dr Susan Davis OAM and Dr Lisa Chandler, from the Sunshine Coast, and features works by Rose Barrowcliffe, Nai Nai Bird, Renata Buziak, Donna Davis, Joolie Gibbs, Anne Harris, Nicole Jakins, Shelley Pisani, Edith Rewa, Cara Ann Simpson, Marni Stuart and Emma Thorp.<\/p>\n

They have been joined by local artists including Robyn Dower, Wendy Olsen, Tess Elliott and Maureen Addenbrooke.<\/p>\n

The artworks – which include fabric designs, paintings and sculptures – are all imbued with a love of native wildflowers and the places they grow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The artists have been inspired by the stories of environmentalists such as the late Kathleen McArthur, who specialised in painting wildflowers.<\/p>\n

Kathleen was a co-founder – alongside Judith Wright,\u00a0David Fleay and Brian Clouston – of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland in 1962.<\/p>\n

The Wondai exhibition was formally opened by Cr Kathy Duff last Friday night after a Welcome to Country by Uncle Eric Law AM.<\/p>\n

The evening also featured musical performances by students from Wondai P-9 State School, who also have works on display in Kidz Korner.<\/p>\n

The exhibitions will remain on show until 3:00pm on Saturday, January 27.<\/p>\n

The gallery is open seven days a week, from 10:00am to 3:00pm, but will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n
