Flower Power

Award-winning artist Tia Gabriellah is among seven whose works are on show at the Sarina Art Gallery this month.

Tia’s bright series of paintings Flowers 1 2 3 is among a display which also includes works by Roni Boyle, Jenny Tibbett, Kerry Williams, Robyn Gray, Brizi, and Gail McKeown.

Tia, who won a number of awards at major New South Wales art shows, has been painting for 20 years and moved to Sarina about 18 months ago.

“I’m enjoying painting in Sarina,” Tia said.

“I love painting seascapes.”

Tia said awareness of Sarina’s art scene was growing with 400 people visiting the gallery for the last Sarina 7 exhibition, and the Sarina Arts Council was aiming to increase its membership.

The gallery at the Sarina Field of Dreams is open from 10:00am to 3:30pm daily until October 28.
