3 Draws a Crowd – take 3 by local artists Ve Hammond

Tania Gilby and Pam Price officially opened on Saturday November 3 and runs for four weeks. The Beacon went to the opening and were impressed by the talent and creativity that these three artists have brought together to ensure that the exhibition is interesting, colourful and dynamic. It is a pure visual delight!

The range of art ensures that there is something for everyone. The sculptures and abstract paintings by Tania are simply wonderful. Pam’s beautifully painted pictures of native fauna and flora are breathtaking, and Ve’s playful and colourful display of paintings are nothing short of marvellous.

The exhibition is a joy to visit, with all art available for sale at very reasonable prices.

The exhibition is sponsored by the Maryborough Art Society and is now showing at the Maryborough Art Gallery, 282 Kent Street Maryborough commencing 3rd November 2018 and running the entire month, ending 3rd December 2018. I urge all avid art lovers to put this exhibition on their list of things to see in November 2018. You won’t be disappointed. P.S I can’t lie – I bought several of their beautiful works of art myself!
