Three local artists have exhibited their artworks at the Jubilee Community Centre in a new exhibition entitled ‘Art Transports Us’.
Joy Rogers skilfully paints traditional watercolour scenes of coastal Australian towns, Josephine Iacovelli’s work is bright scenes from Europe in acrylics and Linda Danvers’ work is gentle and calming nature scenes in watercolour and acrylic.
All three artists have exhibited their artworks around town previously, with Ms Danvers initiating this exhibition.
“I knew that Josephine and Joy were both painting and had artworks they’d like to put in an exhibition so we chatted about and they all said, ‘yeah, let’s do it,’” she said.
Ms Danvers has been painting since 2015 and says her inspiration comes from the ocean, islands, foliage and whatever inspires her in the moment.
“When I’m walking, I take a lot of photos, so my aerobic walks don’t get too aerobic because I stop a lot,” she laughs.
“One day, you just know it’s the day, you pick up the paints, and you just do it.
The exhibition is open for all to enjoy a few moments of calm amongst the artworks, from 8:30am to 4:30pm weekdays until next Tuesday, August 30 at the Jubilee Community Centre.
All works are available for purchase.
