“GREEN-WOOD” Art Exhibition

“GREEN-WOOD”, an amazing exhibition featuring seven North Queensland artists opens at Mission Beach Community Arts Centre on Friday, 21 July 2023 at 6:00pm.

Formed in 2010, this group known as the Green Painters began fresh, raw, and untrained (i.e., ‘green’).  Their first exhibition in 2013, titled “GREEN” was hugely successful with most paintings selling within 24hrs. Their second exhibition in 2016, “GREEN AS”, was equally successful drawing large numbers on Opening Night and many sales throughout the exhibition period.  In 2019 the group exhibited their third exhibition, “GREENISH”, and in 2021 the group returned for their fourth exhibition titled “NOT AS GREEN, demonstrating their ongoing progression.

In 2023 they are back again with a fresh, exciting exhibition titled “GREEN-WOOD”. The artists share many common interests despite quite different backgrounds and training – each with their own unique expression, approach and art practice reflected in divergent subject choices. Using different mediums such as oil, acrylic and watercolour, they explore various themes including landscape, figurative, and portraiture.

“We’ve been painting over the past 18 months for this exhibition.” Pete Faulkner said.  “We all have the passion to paint and express ourselves individually. The “GREEN-WOOD” artists have their own distinct styles and use different materials, colours, and equipment to demonstrate this. Our diversity and evolving interests and approaches help keep us together and maintain us as a painting group.”

The “GREENWOOD” exhibition features work by Pete Faulkner, Carol Giuliany, Lynda Hannah-Williams, Bruce Parry, Sue Pullman and Patricia Voltz.
