A world of watercolours

One of Khin Swe Ohn's works

Explore a world of watercolours with a new exhibition at Gosford Regional Gallery from August 9-21.

Hosted by Central Coast Watercolour Society, the exhibition will be in the Community Gallery, open from 9.30am-4pm daily.

The exhibition marks four decades of creativity, community and shared artistic growth and is a tribute to the spirit of volunteering and artistic expression.

It gives members the opportunity to display their work to visitors to the Coast as well as local art lovers.

The featured artist for the exhibition is Khin Swe Ohn, a passionate botanical illustrator who has donated her painting “Roses” to be raffled.

Born in Myanmar (Burma) she lives and works as a specialist geriatrician on the Central Coast.

Her main inspiration comes from flowers and plants with roses her all-time favourite subject.

She is particularly fascinated by the pattern, colours, shapes, form and detail of the beauty of roses.

The society currently has nearly 200 dedicated members, as well as patrons and life members.

It is run entirely by dedicated volunteers, offering a wide range of services to both its members and the public.

Complimentary “Try Your Hand” sessions for anyone wanting expert guidance on how to start painting with watercolours are a feature of every exhibition.

Opening night will be from 6pm on Friday, August 9, with wine and light refreshments served.
