Award-winning art on show

FEATURE artists at Cleveland's Old Schoolhouse Gallery for October are award-winning artists Peter Steller, of Wellington Point, and Regina Dolan, of Logan.

Peter's vivid paintings of North Stradbroke Island and his award-winning sculptures combine with Regina's atmospheric portraits and landscapes in a colourful exhibition, called The Sum of Two, opening this Friday, September 30.

Peter's collection includes The Dancer ? the elegant wood sculpture that won Champion Sculpture at this year's Ekka ? as well as nine other sculptures, ranging in size from 40cm to more than a metre, and a range of timber bowls and platters.

Peter's acrylic paintings are strongly influenced by the ocean, particularly the beauty of North Stradbroke Island, and most of his paintings in the exhibition focus on the island.

Regina's oil paintings continue her exploration of portraiture and figures, which were the focus of a recent solo exhibition in Brisbane, as well as landscapes of North Stradbroke Island and other areas.

Her collection in The Sum of Two includes her 2011 Archibald Prize entry of Sunshine Coast mayor Bob Abbott.

All works by both artists will be for sale during the exhibition.

In addition to Peter and Regina presenting artist's talks on Sunday, October 2 and Saturday, October 8 respectively, painting and sculpture demonstrations will continue throughout the exhibition, which runs until October 23.

Regina will also demonstrate the Alla Prima portrait painting technique and visitors are invited to enquire about having an oil portrait sketch done.
