CELEBRATING the retro travel posters from days gone by and with a modern twist that pays homage to the uber-cool Palm Springs mid-century aesthetic, Simone Wolowiec’s colourful art will be gracing Coolum’s very own ‘Gallery Lane’ for the next month.
Simone’s exhibition ‘Inspired By Coolum’ will be running from Monday, February 10 to Saturday, March 9 at ‘Gallery Lane’ in Coolum which is between Yum Gelato and Heirloom Café.
“It’s truly a wonderful feeling sharing my art in the heart of Coolum,” Simone said.
Simone was ‘Inspired By Coolum’ after relocating from Melbourne to live a quieter life by the coast. Simone’s travel experiences and her artistic perspective of the beauty within the region ignited a series of Coolum Beah artworks and an expanding Sunshine Coast Collection.
The art is relatable to many locals and visitors with Simone’s intention to capture each location as a first-time visitor seeking the highlights and Simone’s guiding philosophy is to create art that simply makes you smile.
The exhibition is proudly hosted and curated by the Coolum Art Project which is a temporary exhibition trail – a spokesperson stated that they hope to showcase as much art as possible.
“Our vision is to identify and create opportunities for creatives in and around Coolum, public or private, by presenting a temporary exhibition experience within our community.”
Simone said that she is so thrilled to be showcasing her work.
“It’s truly a paradise and a great community and it’s an honour and big thank you to John and the team from Coolum Art Project for all your efforts in making this possible.”
