FUTURE EXHIBITION
ARTISTS SUPPORT OVARIAN CANCER RESEARCH - KEN FARROW - New Exhibition November 2010.
Internationally renowned artist Ken Farrow - in memory of his late wife, fellow artist Carmel (Bunter) Farrow - is again supporting cancer research this year, particularly Ovarian Cancer, by way of a second Major Exhibition of artworks at Main Street Gallery, opening on Saturday 6th Nov 2010. The exhibition held in August here last year was a huge success and raised a generous four figure sum for this cause.
Opening the exhibition again this year is Professor Adele Green AC. Deputy Director of QIMR. The exhibition will be on show here for the month of November, again with a percentage donation from all sales being made.
Some of Ken's worldwide success include works in the 'Marquis of Melfordhaven Collection' and 'Watney Bewery Collection', London.
Ken has exhibited at the World Horse Sales, Newmarket, England and through invitation exhibited at the world's biggest Western Art exhibition in Calgary in both '86 and '88.
Carmel Farrow was a professional artist for fourteen years, her award winning works concentrating on female portraiture and character, landscape and still life.

Previous exhibition - 'AFTER THE BURN' - paintings by Patricia Cale.
We are continuing to stock some paintings to purchase from this powerful exhibition, see some featured on Patricia Cale on The Artists page.
Dynamic paintings and mixed media works, from established and respected local Fine Artist, Patricia Cale. These new works express the power and energy created by, and as a result of, the process of fire. Fire here is seen as creative energy - an undeniable and essential life force, and part of everyday Australian life. 'After the Burn' series of new works are inspired by the process of initial destruction, but then the subtle new creation that, slowly but determined, emerges. "My work is about the life-force in everything. That force which sings the mysteries..." Patricia Cale "My new paintings draw upon the cathartic experience and are expressed here as metaphor through the natural regeneration of our Australian landscape"
