Artworks by former Saint Mary’s Catholic College student Tessa Shayer are filling the walls at the Kingaroy Regional Art Gallery this month.<\/p>\n

Tessa – possibly better known locally as Tessa Carty – was accompanied by her proud family members for the official opening of her exhibition on Friday night.<\/p>\n

“I set a personal goal two years ago to exhibit my artwork,” Tessa told the crowd.<\/p>\n

“I am thrilled to be holding my first solo show here in Kingaroy.”<\/p>\n

Many of Tessa’s paintings capture Australian native birds.<\/p>\n

“Nature has always been a source of inspiration to me. Art is about capturing the essence of life and the world around us,” she said.<\/p>\n

Kuku Yalanji \/ Lama Lama artist Karen Klimm-Richardson, who now lives in Kingaroy, has works in Gallery 2 in an exhibition dubbed “Merging Of The World”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karen’s art journey began in 1997 when she started painting ceramics with Indigenous designs which she sold in Brisbane.<\/p>\n

She paused her art career when she returned to teaching but always had a burning desire to get back to it.<\/p>\n

These days, Karen is combining her love of photography with her love of design, creating digital montages in one-off pieces printed on to canvas.<\/p>\n

“I am on a journey of trying to find my style at 59 years old!” she said.<\/p>\n

Visitors to the Kingaroy Art Gallery this month should also check out the BaconFest-themed arts and crafts in Shop 38 for sale.<\/strong><\/p>\n
