Inspiring environmental awareness: 'Naturally' exhibition opens soon
Naturally is ‘a wonderfully diverse exhibition of a multidisciplinary kind’ that runs from August 6–20 at the Mary Cairncross Reserve, 148 Mountain View Rd, Maleny, Qld.
Sharing their fascination with and reverence for nature, an Indigenous artist, a wood sculptor, a rainforest and environmental artist will bring their combined works together. From carving to ink, cyanotype to clay, this rich exhibition reflects the local landscape and deep sense of place.
Cholena (Koa) Drew Hughes was born on Turrbal country and now lives on Jinibara country. She shares her love of Country through her many art practices to provide a meaningful experience for the viewer.
