EXOTIC TRAILS - Sat 15th July 2pm

 

ART OPENING - MOUNT PERRY 

SAT 15 TH JULY 2PM

The Mount Perry Arts Group Inc. is proud to announce the

DEBUT EXHIBITION of Artist, Carolyn Ward, entitled:

EXOTIC TRAILS

“A lovely collection of visual stimuli 

that inspires the imagination”

Carolyn’s works bring “a breath of fresh air for the mind’s eye”, taking the viewer to exotic themes and places where the imagination can relax and play for a while.

Carolyn Ward grew up in a small mining town in the County of Yorkshire, in England. Although she showed artistic talent in her school years, the average expectation was to work at the coal mines or textile factories so she was discouraged from believing art was something she could pursue.

Half a lifetime of changes later - experiencing travel, learning, growth, and emergence from grieving her husband’s death, Carolyn revisited her latent talents, found a place of balance, and began to unleash a world of colour, creativity and satisfaction back into her life. Now, with this exhibition, her artwork takes a step out into the world that it so colourfully reflects.

In celebration of her debut exhibition, the Gallery has produced a limited run of small, hardcover books featuring artworks by Carolyn Ward, and short verses inspired by the art, written by Helen Downs. The books will be available for sale at the exhibition.

This exotic and beautiful exhibition opens on SATURDAY 15th JULY at the Shelley Kelly Gallery, Mount Perry. All are welcome to attend for the opening, at 2pm, where light refreshments will be served. The exhibition will continue ‘til 14th Sept. Gallery open 9am to 2pm Tues to Thurs or by arrangement.

Venue: 

The Shelley Kelly Gallery, in the Pat Augustine Cultural Centre,
