Artist of the Month for July at the Dayboro Art Gallery - Helen Hornibrook

2011-07-10T10:46:00.005+10:00

Helen Hornibrook is the Artist of the Month at the Dayboro Art Gallery for July.

Since starting to paint 6 years ago Helen has become completely absorbed in her art to the exclusion of all else.
The most interesting aspect is progress - where she can look back and see improvement. Largely self taught, Helen has attended many workshops. Helen was a florist for many years, which she believes helped her have a good sense of colour, texture and design. Landscape painting is her first love, but she also enjoys still life, portraiture, and has won awards for abstract work as well at local shows and competitions.
Recently, Helen won a competition in the Artist Palette and was offered a commission to do a demonstration painting for a later issue .

Some pictures from Dayboro Day last weekend, Sunday, 29 May 2011. What a wonderful day, the weather shined beautifully and the crowds were out.

The front of the Gallery where the Art Sale was set up. People poured in all day, I think all the members who volunteered for the day would testify that they were pretty much run off their feet all day!

The Trash and Treasure Stall was as popular as always with everyone looking for a bargain.

Lorraine busy selling the books and mags.

Warren cooking snags on the BBQ which was very popular.

Bruce set up out the front offering to draw portraits. Jane also set up in the gallery and gave a demonstration of working in pastels.

It was busy inside too with a heap of raffle tickets being sold and encouraging visitors to participate in the Artist Choice Awards. Congratulations goes to Bruce Mercer again this year for winning the award!!

Janelle has been been painting for about ten years now and has participated in many workshops with several well regarded art professionals.

Lillian Tebesceff, Artist of the Month - February - Dayboro Art Gallery

2011-02-11T14:04:00.007+10:00

Lillian Tebesceff is the Artist of the Month for February at the Dayboro Art Gallery . Winner of many Art awards, locally and interstate, Lillian is teaching 'Art for Pleasure' at Kings Cottage, on behalf of the Pine Rivers U3A and at the Dayboro Art Gallery. Originally a subject teacher (16yrs NSW Catholic System) then a lecturer (psychology etc...) she has been involved with art both professionally and as a hobby throughout her life. Lillian has studied in Europe and Australia and actively belongs to local and interstate Art Groups, Galleries and Committees. Lillian's art is an extension to self expression, it's coming in many moods....and evident in her work.
Dayboro had its share of flooding too as the township lies within a valley northwest of Brisbane and therefore it didn't escape the torrential downpour that occurred on the 11th of January. Fortunately, the water subsided as soon as the rain stopped.
As you can see by the line drawn on the white wood in the picture, the waterline rose quite high but despite this, most of the art was unaffected due to some quick actions of members earlier in the day.
Finally, a Bunya Nut from one of our magnificent trees out the back of the Gallery.

Artist of the Month for January at the Dayboro Community Art Gallery - Dee Sooveere

2011-01-02T12:34:00.012+10:00

Dee Sooveere is the Artist of the Month at the Dayboro Community Art Gallery for January 2011. Dee's exciting display includes portraits of well known locals from Dayboro which you can easily identify!

Dee is a budding local portrait artist and also a resident of Dayboro Village. She is very grateful to the people who agreed to participate in her exhibition, including Tim Harlow, a member of the Gallery and talented photographer, and Lillian Tebesceff, another talented local artist and teacher (paintings below). Dee, a relative newcomer to the "World of Art", has been painting off and on for about 4 years.
Unlike many artists, Dee doesn't know where the desire to paint came from. Dee didn't do art at high school and knew no one else who did, even her family are at a loss (perhaps there was an artist somewhere in the family line, long ago). Dee enjoys browsing through art supply shops, the smell of crayons and pencils and paper stir the memories of the classrooms of her early school years in England.
Dee found the opportunity to give art a go came when she lived in Budderim, nervously attending some folk art lessons were she picked up some useful techniques, but did not find what she was looking for there.
Many years later in 2005 while wandering around an art supply shop at Kallanger, she was enticed by the proprietor to sign up for pastel lessons and loved it.
Subsequently, Dee became a member of the Dayboro Community Art Gallery where she now enjoys the company of other local artists. Today Dee loves to paint in oils, pastels and acrylics (favouring oils for there blending and slow drying qualities). Dee's favourite subjects at present are painting people and animal portraits. Come in this month and view Dee's excellent exhibition.

Janelle Parish - Artist of the Month - Dayboro Community Art Gallery

2010-02-09T07:01:00.007+10:00

Like most people who paint, Janelle's art practice has been a life-long romance. Attending many workshops with different well known professionals has helped hone her skills, and the highlight, travelling with a group of fellow artists to Tuscany in 2008 - a very rewarding experience.

Janelle enjoys painting "en plein air" but for convenience also uses personal photographs for reference and prefers oils which allows her to be more expressive.

Janelle's inspiration comes from french impressionists and the artists belonging to the Australian Heidelberg School and she hopes to emulate their styles while developing her own.

Landscapes and vignettes of the lives of the people around her are passions which Janelle will continue to pursue while losing herself in the romance of painting.

Artists of the Month - Judy Midgley and Avril Towerton

2009-10-19T16:35:00.001+10:00

This month at the Dayboro Community Art Gallery we have 2 members featuring their art, Avril Towerton and Judy Midgley.

Judy Midgely has been potting on and off for over thirty years and has successfully participated in many exhibitions in and her work collected in Australia, Japan and New York. Her stoneware works often feature many natural objects (grasses, feathers, seed pods, etc) which give an organic feel to compliment the earthy quality of the clay and satify her desire to recycle some of the beautiful objects nature provides. One of her favourite whimsical and fun things to do is to make fairies, elves and mushrooms - Judy says we all need some fantasy in our lives!

Avril Towerton is also featuring this month and works in a diverse range of mediums including oils, watercolours and designing and making glass jewellery (dichroic glass) and bowls and dishes (glass slumping). Avril exhibits in local galleries and has won prizes for her work at various art shows in the Pine Rivers area. Favourite subjects include landscapes (sea and rural) and capturing old houses and buildings as part of the landscape and history.
