Our recent exhibition by Carolyn Ward had a successful run at the Shelley Kelly Gallery in Mount Perry, from July to September 2023.
Carolyn was born in a small mining town in Yorkshire, and although showing some artistic promise in school, was discouraged by her parents from taking up art studies or pursuing her creativity. It wasn't until much later in life, after moving to Australia, that she rediscovered her gifts.
Her vibrant pieces took gallery visitors to places of imagination and surprise, and were well received by all. Several pieces were sold on opening day and through the exhibition.
In celebration of Carolyn's debut exhibition, a small Art & Verse book was created and printed, preserving some of Carolyn's works, accompanied by poetry penned by Mount Perry Arts Group President, Helen Downs.
Here are some glimpses ...
And here are some sample pages from the book "Exotic Trails", produced from the exhibition work...
