Up in the studio gallery during April we currently have the artwork of Betty Williams on display!⁠
⁠
Betty Williams is a member of the RQAS Brisbane Branch, but also the Somerset Art Society Inc. and the Kilcoy Art Society. ⁠
She is fascinated by the variety of ecosystems that form an intrinsic and vital part of the dynamic Australian landscape. She paints from the heart, her scenes and scenery are real places: journeyed, experienced, loved and feared. Betty paints with a gambit of real emotions and honest expression, enhanced by imagination with a dusting of fantasy.⁠
⁠
We look forward to seeing you in the gallery to support our local artists.⁠
**Please note** the studio gallery is only accessible via stairs and is not wheelchair accessible.
