Seven Bellarine Peninsula artists with a desire to develop their technique and challenge themselves to different styles and mediums are currently exhibiting in Queenscliff.
The group of seven women meet monthly at the Queenscliff Neighbourhood House (QNH) to pursue their passion.
The result, Painting Together, an exhibition that is running until September 25.
“Some of our group are sea changers, some not,” one of the artists Renae Chapman said.
“Our common interest is to further develop our art while enjoying our friendship
and our community, the environment where we live.
“We have been together as a group for over three years, some longer, and our art experience is diverse ranging from portrait, landscape, seascape, porcelain, acrylics, watercolour, oils, pen and ink.”
The exhibition features more than 60 works of art from local artists Renae Chapman, Fran Faulkner, Sandra Gould, Trish Hanan, Beverley Kilpatrick, Gillian McLeod and Ronda Symon.
The exhibit is open to the public at QNH Monday to Friday from 10am to 3pm and Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 3.30pm.
On weekends, two of the artists are present.
“We’d love to show people around and talk to them about what type of art we do and what type of style,” Renae said.
“We’ve all got that sense of community through our artwork.”
