"Art From The Heart"

Gin Gin Artist, Sue Jackson and Mt. Perry Artist, Susan Frazer join together for the February Exhibition “Art From The Heart” at the Gin Gin Courthouse Gallery. Their exhibition will be filled with artwork of pen & wash, pencil, mixed media, watercolour, acrylic, ink, gauche, oil pastel, pen & ink, pen and some are a combination of two or more of the mentioned medias. Sue Jackson says, “as a young child I discovered the world of making images where I could wander and disappear for hours. As an adult my visits to this world have been infrequent and sporadic, but I have reached a stage in my life where I have time to explore and linger. This inner landscape has a distinct language. I find myself constantly fascinated by pattern and symbols and the flux and tug of icons and motifs from my past and present is central to my image making.” While Susan Frazer states, “I have always found Nature’s perfect and imperfect forms inspirational. Letting go of the need to control the outcome of my work has been a challenging process in itself. However as I allow the colours and different mediums the freedom to flow and blend into their own forms of creative expression, I experience an amazing sense of discovery. This exhibition shows quite a degree of variation as I allow perfection and imperfection to create it’s own validity.”
