Additional Information
Dr. Rhi Johnson is a Toowoomba based artist and lecturer who works primarily in the fields of Printmaking, Artist’s Books and Mixed Media art. She is interested in the formation of everyday narratives, and how these can be disrupted or subverted visually. Rhi investigates visual cues that can punctuate an environment, object or space of perceived meaning, and in doing so, may allude to subconscious methods of processing information. She explores these through smaller scale book, paper and canvas works, through to large-scale mural works.
Karri McPherson was born in Hong Kong and emigrated to Australia soon after. She is a contemporary painter and muralist living in Toowoomba, Queensland and is undertaking a Bachelor of Creative Art at the University of Southern Queensland. Throughout 2017, she undertook a month-long residency learning how to translate her work onto a large scale, ultimately leading to her participation in the First Coat Festival. Her practice explores geometric art in relation to contemporary spatial confinements and through her hard-edge forms she seeks to break down the boundaries of perception. By actualising hard-edge forms within a public setting, McPherson seeks to understand the power that geometric street art has to infuse communities with the simplistic beauty of shape, form and colour.

Showcasing the talent of our artist membership from Brisbane and regional Queensland, this exhibition takes the form of small scale three dimensional works displayed on plinths in the foyer space and corridors of level 2 at the Judith Wright Centre.
The Winter Exhibition features works from artist members Peta Lloyd, Nicola Hooper, Gemma Garcia-Roman and Ann Russell.
Peta Lloyd (Coowonga, near Rockhampton)
Peta Lloyd describes herself as a bricoleur… transforming everyday ordinary stories through the skillful marriage of collected materials, folded pages and prints. She is a visual storyteller, creating quirky, elegant and optimistic narratives, often housing these unique stories within a vessel. Peta uses layered symbols and motifs to create multiple meanings. read more
Nicola Hooper (Logan)
Nicola’s work explores concepts surrounding human/animal relationships via “zoonoses”. She does this both visually and verbally through fairy tale and rhyme contexts using drawing and lithography. Her exhibited books are all mosquito repellent. The encaustic covers are combined with Citronella oil. The lithographic books are printed with combined ink and citronella oil. read more
Gemma Garcia-Roman (Brisbane)
Gemma Garcia-Roman has an interest in integrating the Spanish culture (her heritage) to her current home Australia. Her work is colourful, and she tries to combine some archetype ideas from distinct cultures; from Spain (Spanish dresses patterns like red with white polka dots), bulls, and Australian animals (koalas, kangaroos, etc). Her artworks are influenced by famous Spanish and Latin artists, Picasso and Frida Kahlo. read more
Ann Russell (Cashmere)
Ann Russell works with liminal spaces caught just outside ‘real’ existence, seen and simultaneously unseen. Her works are depictions of these spaces, often based on Surreal narratives using mixed media in a bricolage form – combining elements and symbols that retain some of their meaning from our world, juxtaposed with new meaning in the worlds she creates. read more

The Spring Exhibition features works from artist members Jacqueline Sanderson, Bodhi Del Mar, wild + parrot, and Cindy Wood.
Jacqueline Sanderson, Coolum
Jacqueline Sanderson is a visual artist who has lived on the Sunshine Coast since 2007. Jacqueline is inspired by nature, people, and the lived experience and she describes herself as an eclectic artist and maker whose artwork is meaningful and good-natured. Jacqueline paints, and creates by reusing and transforming discarded and found objects from nature. She completed her BA in Visual Arts (QUT) in 1995 and is currently completing an undergraduate degree in Psychology at USC. view works
Bodhi Del Mar, Mudgeeraba
Bodhi Del Mar is a photographer & visual artist working from her home studio on the Gold Coast. Her disciplines include landscape, composite & mixed media photography, cold glass, stencilling and body painting. Her admiration for Mother Nature and love for beautiful spaces that make you “feel good” inspire her work, exploring such themes as the profundity of the natural world and our choices as humans to exist either within or against it. view works
wild + parrot, Brisbane
Formed in 2018 wild +parrot brings together the collaborative works of Brisbane based artists Glen Skien and Michelle Wild. Within the collision of discarded materials and collage, their small handmade objects evoke a continual desire to retrieve and re-present new narratives in a series of wearable pieces and small objects. Collectively the response of both artists presents a style and method of storytelling that affords a whimsical and impulsive collection of wearable art pieces. view works
Cindy Wood, North Tamborine
Cindy’s woven sculptural works are designed and created in an outdoor garden studio. Materials are gathered from the nearby forest and scattered through out the garden. Cindy loves exploring nature, as there is so much to see in the bark of a tree, the patterns that form and the way the branches decide to grow.
