How quickly does the time turn around -‐ we are already for the opening of the
2014 Tattersall’s Club Landscape Art Prize and Queensland Exhibition
When the invitation to exhibit a piece of work inspired by Qld, this little gully came to mind!

Tattersall’s Landscape Art Prize And
Queensland Exhibition 2014 Opened Wednesday 3rd September
Tattersall’s Club – Queen Street – Brisbane -‐ Qld
The work this year from Studio@Vantage is – water colour on 300 G/M2 – Arches cold pressed rag paper – fully framed ready for hanging.
`Up The Creek’ is 70 x 70cm square and `Out To Sea’ is 70 x 100cm – the both pieces are designed to sit together – so allowing the full story to flow from start to finish.
The Ghosts of Stumer’s Creek have been calling – this small gully crosses the main road into town, and every time I cross it I am determined to explore!
Very early one morning, camera and sketch block in tow I headed out – it was starting to rain but this didn’t deter. I was later to learn that this small gully has had many lives and the local Maroochy Water Watch Inc – our local Catchment Management Group have been managing and working hard to keep the health of the gully up to scratch.
Later in the day, I drove down and wandered the other end of the gully – where the waters bubble across the sand and move out to sea. The history associated with the area was a story driven by one of our early settlers – Carl Stumer! For the full history of how he came to survey this area and submit the naming rights, head to the Blog > http://wynvogel.blogspot.com/2014/09/tattersalls-‐club-‐landscape-‐art-‐prize.html Enquiries to: Ann-‐Louise Hollett-‐Smith

What other Exhibitions are on the way? St Vincent’s Private Hospital Brisbane -‐ Art Program 2014
Moves into the second half year of Exhibition on the 8th September `14
Gone Surfing The ultimate freedom – this work has also seeded an installation which includes actual pieces of paddle boards donated by Surf FX – South Port Qld (organised via AusWind – distributors of Starboard SUP – Stand Up Paddle Boards in Australia) so thanks to these guys – and also Mitre 10 Coolum Beach who have helped me with the build of the installation.
Backyard Games We all have old sheds in our backyards and the games that go on in and out of the shed probably are fabled and should stay with our childhood and teenage dreams – My old RM Williams boots formed a valuable prop for this work!
Match Play Princess Diana never stood a chance – what goes on when the silks and boots are off?
A fine silk and boots I have to say!!
A Gentleman’s Game The bat and ball is modeled on those of WG Grace – history is represented in the books!
How did corruption creep into the game was it as simple as naughts and crosses?
Fore Play This is probably the most feminine piece in the Series -‐ however regardless of gender how precious are the ‘Games We Play’
A tongue in cheek look what the stork will bring!

The St Vincent’s Hospital – is looking to establish leading edge clinical and pain management facilities to Queensland and beyond.
Earlier this year the Hospital launched a major Art Program under the watchful eye of Fiona Forrest.
Fiona has returned after many years working with the arts in England – including the Arts Council and theatre groups based in London.
With an experienced eye – Fiona has harnessed a number of artists who previously have not hung together and so this fresh approach has brightened the halls and corridors – the public and private spaces of the Hospital, enriching the lives of both patients and staff over the last six months.

With much planning and great communication – Fiona is about to dismantle and install a new set of work for the second half of 2014 – still celebrating bringing:
`The Outside In’ Work from Studio@Vantage -‐ will hang in the Pain Management Centre from the 8th September until January
2015.
