Artist Statement – Tricia Taylor

This exhibition is a culmination of many years of painting the Australian landscape. In my travels I have had the privilege of painting en plein air or on location in the outdoors. This way of capturing a scene brings a special experience of the light that cameras just don’t render the same.

The story within each artwork becomes the experience of place. The smell of the air, the touch of the breeze through the leaves, the sound of the waves or birds. Many of the small works in this exhibition are the plein air paintings, others have been created through inspiration from the plein air work and images in the studio.

I love to share that experience of my love of light through my art. So, I hope you enjoy this collection of works each with their own story of light.

“ Art Day at Barb’s – Mountain Coolibah” by Megan McNicholl

“Woodgate Beach” by Jane Bridle

Exhibition Statement: A WOW Moment!

Come and see what happens when artists from the Glenmorgan Art Group (GAG) join forces with artists from the Toowoomba Art Group (TAG) and put together an exhibition of their recent work.

The Exhibition is a stunning collection of works with subjects ranging from Downs landscapes to some beautiful and colourful interiors and everything in between. It gives the viewer an idea of the wonderful and diverse work artists from both the GAG and TAG are doing at present.

GAG celebrated its milestone fiftieth anniversary in 2020 – a great achievement. The founding artists saw a need for an art group in the Glenmorgan area. They were desperate for communication with kindred spirits, so in 1970 a small group of artists began meeting for monthly art days around the district. The GAG group is still going strong with 14 active members.

Some of the GAG members have retired to Toowoomba and formed the TAG along with other keen artists and they continue to paint enthusiastically at monthly art days.

Exhibiting artists are:

Elaine Lyons, Carol McCormack, Megan McNicholl, Priscilla Mundell, Mary Penfold, Cassie Swanson, Shiree Wenham, Jane Bridle, Cindy Grimes, Paige Devenish, Barbara Hancock, Patricia Hinz and Diane Hill.

You are warmly invited to the opening of GAG+TAG+WOW!! at the Roma on Bungil Gallery at 1pm on Sunday 1 October for sandwiches and drinks. The exhibition will be showing until 11 November.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I grew up in Surat and moved to the Sunshine Coast 15 yrs ago. I have 2 beautiful children, Lachlan 26 and Ellie 20.

I can say now I was always interested in creativity of some kind, either painting, drawing, photography, crafts or cooking. But it wasn’t until I picked up a paint brush and painted my first piece 26 yrs ago when my son was a baby that I thought I was actually artistic. I entered that piece into Easter in the Country and won.

Becoming involved in setting up the Balonne River Gallery in Surat encouraged me to actively paint for my first exhibition “A Touch of Red”. Around the same time I set up a small coffee shop called Vogue House, displayed my art here; owned it for 3yrs, sold it and became a nurse. I still work as a nurse, although now in a busy emergency department on the Sunshine Coast. Somewhere along the way I became dissatisfied with how we deliver western medicine, treating the wound and not the person. Although it has its place in this big wide world, I felt like there was more and I soon discovered Art Therapy. I studied to become a Therapist, hosted a retreat in Bali and then covid happened. So I participated in yoga teacher training, specialising more in the therapy side of yoga; and I painted Pieces of Me! This pivotal piece for me triggered the exhibition. Although I had painted a few pieces prior, these works stemmed more from my studies. You don’t study psychology and not have your past unresolved conflicts not come back to haunt you. And Art Therapy is just about that, when words fail us, we do art right!

My works explore the emotional aspects of ourselves and those relationships we encounter throughout life. I believe we leave little pieces of ourselves within every meaningful place and person we meet.

I’ve used acrylics as the main medium for each piece, some I’ve incorporated pastels, pencil or charcoal. All works are on canvas. Each piece came to me as a vision, one that I always sketched down quickly. Rarely did they end up exactly how I thought; challenging me in the most profound way that is difficult to articulate here. I’d like to thank my daughter Ellie for being my little curator, I didn’t always listen to her, but she challenged me in ways she’ll never know and thus inadvertently helped me finalise each and every piece.

I don’t have any formal art training, so I don’t follow any rules. I paint what I feel, from the heart. This exhibition is different to others in that each piece is a story. I wanted to take the viewer on a journey, but not necessarily for them to be aware of my personal history. More so, I wanted to challenge them, to level up and ask themselves ‘can I relate to this in some way.’ I myself grew up in an era where crying or expressing emotions was weak and needy. And now that I’ve grown, I know that’s absolutely not true, but that’s a piece of me too.
