A warm and welcoming public art gallery nestled in the forest.
The upcoming exhibition 'Three Swans - Watercolours of the Coastlands' by artist Sue Kalab honours the unique coastal landscapes of the South West.
With 25 previous solo exhibitions to her credit, Sue is a highly experienced artist, with a deserved reputation for an intimate appreciation of WA's natural heritage. Three Swans is a new collection of works on paper created over recent years, inspired by bush walks and ambles along the beach.
The Three Swans theme was inspired by a bird count survey Sue and a friend conducted in the Leschenault Estuary during January this year. The exhibition is a chance to bear witness to the rapid decline of our State's native faunal emblem and highlight concerns for its future. Other works in the exhibition document Sue's years of roaming in the nearby Tuart Forest and along the shorelines of the Indian Ocean, wandering and watching, looking and learning. The paintings include orchids, birds and bush.
An artist talk and exhibition event will be held on Sunday 26th May from 1:30pm. Open to the general public, wines will be provided by 10 Chains Winery, with light refreshments provided by Southern Forest Arts. Bookings are not required, but RSVP's through Humanitix are encouraged for catering purposes.
