Tony Lewis has been a professional artist for over 40 years. His remarkable control of watercolour allows him to portray light & mood brilliantly. The serenity of a rural scene or the howling winds of a blustery seascape are all expertly conveyed & never over-worked.
Dawn Lewis brings a softness to her paintings, but these are strong in result. Many of her artworks are glimpses of a larger scene, telling a story through a vignette. Recent pieces have a wonderful loose approach & still a captivating intrigue.

 Meet Tony & Dawn at Art on Cairncross between 10.30am and 12 noon on Saturday March 9th.

'In Harmony' will run from Saturday March 9th until Sunday March 30th.

Art on Cairncross hosts 'Boys from the Bush' a feature of paintings & drawings by Tom McAulay and bronze and boulder opal sculptures by Chris Gavins. Both artists are truly ‘boys from the bush’ which is their inspiration. Tom spent much time on properties with stockmen and livestock, while Chris is a passionate birdwatcher. Each portrays these themes from the heart.

A group of art lovers gathered to meet Judith Laws and Marc Kalifa on Sunday April 8th for the launch of their feature at Art on Cairncross. 'Colour & Light' features paintings by Judith & glass by Marc and continues until April 29. All welcome!

'Showtime' by Ann & Gerry O'Connor opens on Saturday October 7th at Art on Cairncross, Maleny.
Join us at 3.00pm for the official opening by Maleny artist Fiona McCarron. All welcome!
This remarkable couple have been lifetime partners and share a studio, but have maintained their individual approaches to clay.
Gerry O’Connor  works in the Western approach to Raku creating intriguing figures and mesmerising glazes. “It is the branch of ceramics that fires my imagination and suits my personality. I love its directness, vigour and colour. I create more decorative and sculptural items” he explains.
Ann O’Connor uses white clay as the basis for her intricately sculpted figurative works and bright underglazes to great effect. There is joy and mischief in much of it and sheer wonderment at the detail.
“Showtime” is a new collection of works drawn from burlesque to baroque, but also encompasses the meaning of the ceramicists putting themselves on show too. All of it is entertaining and engaging.

Art on Cairncross is hosting an exhibition of paintings by Irish born Jim Kinch at the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce in Bulcock Street, Caloundra.
Jim loved painting people at play whether it be sport or leisure and he always captured movement in his paintings.
Sadly Jim died in late 2016 but I'm sure he would be happy with this particular exhibition of his work.
If you are a member of the Caloundra Chamber of Commerce you can visit any time during office hours. For all others we can organise a viewing for you.
