Art Exhibit – Karen Webb
The show is a solo exhibit of works by Sunshine Coast resident, Karen Bruce Webb. The subjects of the paintings, acrylic and multi media on canvas, are taken from her love of the coast life style she embraces daily, from the beach, to the ocean, to the farm acreage she lives on. The show runs until November 30th. There is an assortment of originals and prints for viewing.
