FREE ADMISSION | GALLERY OPEN: Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm | Sunday 1pm to 4pm | Closed Mondays & Public Holidays

Cairns-based artist, Beverley Budgen has spent her creative life capturing the scenes around her. From the prismatic light of north Queensland, to the brooding atmosphere of storms over the British coastline, Budgen’s artwork exudes effortlessness, a concept that artists in the Renaissance termed sprezzatura. Her spontaneous and gestural use of paint reflects the joy and energy with which she engages with the world. The paintings on display, spanning from 1980 to today, embody the familiar and distinctive landscapes of Queensland, seen through the lens of wit and charm. 

Join the gallery for the opening on Sunday 12 March starting at 1.30pm. This is a free event and all are welcome | RSVP to the gallery by Wednesday 8 March.

Exhibition on display 11 March to 7 May 2017.
