SUMMARY:Legacy: A Diane McDonald Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1523319263370{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nDiane McDonald was preparing works for her fifth solo exhibition when her life was tragically cut short by cancer at the age of 57. \nJust three months before her passing in June 2022\, Diane was a finalist in the prestigious Glover Art Prize – arguably Australia’s foremost landscape award – in Tasmania for the second time.\nDiane had a fascination for Australia’s historic buildings that have a story attached\, as well as a love of old English-style gardens. She largely combined the two for her intended exhibition.\nIn honour of Diane’s memory\, her family are displaying her last works\, as well as a collection of other pieces that have not previously been exhibited\, plus some old favourites.\nThe “Legacy” title for the exhibition is two-fold – it not only relates to Diane’s work\, but also to the fact that the proceeds from all sales will be donated to local cancer research.\nThe funds will be passed to Diane’s oncologist Dr Jim Coward\, an international researcher specialising in immunotherapy who works from the Icon Cancer Centre at the Mater Hospital in South Brisbane.\nDiane would be very happy that her exhibition is being staged at the RQAS\, as she was a member here for a number of years and worked shifts as a volunteer from 2015 through 2017.\nDiane was a warm\, positive person whose love of art was evident from her childhood and which flourished when she was able to devote herself fulltime to her passion over the last decade of her life.\nHer full story\, biography and previous works can be seen at her website\, dianemcdonaldart.com\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][/vc_column][/vc_row] \n
