Ella Hitchens | Birds to Coastal Flowers | Maroochydore Library Artspace

Caloundra Regional Gallery in collaboration with Sunshine Coast Libraries proudly presents the next exhibition for the Maroochydore Library Artspace.

Ella Hitchens draws inspiration from the intricate dance between local birds and botanical flowers. Throughout Ella's time on the Sunshine Coast, the bushland that once provided solace and a nurturing connection has rapidly disappeared under the pressures of development and urban expansion. Her artwork serves as a tribute to these lost wallum areas, advocating for their preservation and emphasizing the importance of reconnecting with and safeguarding our natural environment.

Birds to Coastal Flowers captures the essence of this delicate relationship, offering a visual poetic impression between native flowers and local birds. Each artwork holds a snapshot in time, fleeting moments of these natural miracles and explosions of colour, before they transform to another arrangement in nature.

Join us and hear from Ella about her work and vision as well as networking with likeminded art fans. Refreshments are provided.

The Birds to Coastal Flowers exhibition continues until 31 August at Maroochydore Library.
