Aged Beauty and Brushed Expressions: Jane Howie and Mandy Smith
“Aged Beauty” celebrates the world Jane finds with her camera in old foliage, pods and flowers gathered from the ground that, even though, well past their perfection, reveal beauty.
“Brushed Expressions” refers to Mandy’s painted expressions, using her brushes and clay, which reflect her sense of humour and observations of life.
Jane ‘s photographic art of Aged Beauty images earned her a Platinum Level Award with the Australian Photographic Society’s Conceptual Group. She also has included in this exhibition some other creative photographic work she is currently working on.
Mandy’s acrylics on canvas reflect her wonderful eye for colour and inspiration for nature from the forests that surround her home. Her pottery characters are quirky.
The exhibition runs from April 5 to May 1.

About the Carriage Room:
A rescued rail car donated by Queensland Rail several years ago forms our Carriage Exhibition Room.
Due to the efforts of locals and large cranes, the carriage was brought to the gallery property.
Funds were acquired through grants for transport, cleaning and fixing up to make an excellent space for art.
The Carriage Exhibition Room has proven extremely successful for many local artists and
craftspeople who have had solo or group exhibitions.
Fees to hire the space for an exhibition:
1. Members (solo or group) - $120
2. Artists (solo or group) outside the catchment area (50km radius of the gallery) - $200 (plus $30 administration fee for each artist).
The gallery takes 30% commission of sales
Each exhibition has a festive opening and is on display for four weeks.
