Sun Moon Art Exhibition

Watercolour, ink and acrylics.

Opening Event: Saturday 14th September 2-3pm 2024

A unique collaboration and celebration of painting ,watercolour and ink reflecting techniques and skills that have been taught, learnt and honed over time by two friends.

Many suns and moons ago, Melbourne based artist, Margaret Christianson, met Janine at college back in the 80's, marking the beginning of an exciting artistic journey that has continued to this day. The SUN symbolises the light of discovery, while the MOON reflects our achievements and what is yet to come.

Creating art has been a constant companion of Margaret's, always guiding her to new places for inspiration, which she then interprets into colourful artworks and memories. Travel is also an essential part of her life. In recent times, Queensland has become her winter escape from Melbourne, a dedicated time to paint in the warmth of the SUN. The light is distinctly different from that of Melbourne, with colours bouncing vividly off the canvas.

One of the greatest joys of these escapes has been reconnecting with Janine after so many years and creating art together again. She is the MOON, and Margaret is the SUN, and we now proudly present our collaborative exhibition for you all to enjoy.

Refreshments and nibbles on arrival

To coincide with the exhibition Margaret and Janine will be providing an insight into their techniques with workshops on the weekend following the opening. Check links below.
