Art finds a place

THE Vera Wade Gallery at St Andrew’s Uniting Church in Brisbane City has had an exciting line up of exhibitions in the first half of this year.

In February, Rev Dr Geraldine Wheeler exhibited her series of thoughtful gouache paintings on black Stonehenge paper entitled Biblical Women.

In her work, she invites the viewer to enter the worlds of influential women acknowledged in Biblical text.

The annual Visionaries Exhibition entitled Through Lent to the Cross and Beyond during March and April fi lled the gallery space with a diverse display of artists whose works expressed their faith as they explored the Easter theme.

Contributing artists were Lindsay Farrell, Victoria Fitzpatrick, Kerry Holland, Marion McConaghy, Dianne Minnaar, Mel Perkins, Kerry Reece, Rita Ringma, Cees Sliedrecht and Geraldine Wheeler.

The official opening was combined with a special service held at St Andrew’s Uniting Church.

The World Vision Photographic Collection runs through May while a selection of works from Ian and Maxine Chaseling’s Indigenous art collection will be exhibited in June.
