Ros Burns “Explorations of Creation” Retrospective Exhibition.
Join us in celebrating Ros’ artistic career with her retrospective exhibition” Explorations of Creation” at the Emerald Art Gallery to kick off our first exhibition of 2024. Explorations of Creation comments on Ros’ distinguished career as a painter living in the Central Highlands. Her expression often depicts her love of nature, while intersecting with a surreal quality that captivates the viewer.
Roslyn (Cassidy) Burns, (born 25 March 1953) is best known for her intricate, brightly coloured paintings of Australian flora, fauna and landscape.
Drawing from a love of surrealism and contemporary art, her work brings the inner beauty of the subject alive and her unique use of colour allows the subject to own the canvas.
Using various mediums including oil, acrylic, pen and ink, watercolour and pastel, Ros redefines pre-conceived ideas of the Australian bushland, wildlife and people, making her work popular both in Australia and the UK.
Ros grew up on a property (now the Tarong Power station) near Nanango in southeast Queensland. Leaving high school to study nursing at St Vincent’s hospital in Toowoomba and later working at the Royal Women’s in Sydney she continued throughout her career to develop her distinctive talent.
After marrying, Ros spent three years in New Zealand and returned to Australia, eventually moving to Emerald, Central Queensland to raise her family of five daughters and one son. Starting art classes for both children and adults, Ros continues to share her knowledge and love of art with the community.
Ros has studied graphic design and fine arts by correspondence and honed her skills at the renowned Julian Ashton School in Sydney. Her studio is on the southern side of her old Queenslander where she spends most of her day painting.
Join Ros and family for the Exhibition opening on Friday 2 February 2024 at 6.00pm at the Emerald Art Gallery. Light Refreshments will be provided, all welcome!
Explorations of Creation will be on display from 5 February – 15 March 2024.
Gallery Hours: Monday to Friday 8.30am – 5.00pm
