Upstairs in the studio gallery for February is the artwork of Heb Peters!
A fine artist in Brisbane, Australia, Heb is known for her quirky and surreal figurative oil paintings. As a child, she was inspired by her aunt, Elizabeth Brophy, who was regarded as Ireland`s leading Impressionist painter.
Heb`s passion for art is equalled by that for science and a fusion of these sometimes features in her works. Come into the Petrie Terrace Gallery this week to see her art in person.
