The Coast Confidential team of Regina King and Peter Flowers once again captured the spirit on Friday night for the exhibition opening of the solo shows by artists Fiona Kennedy-Altoft and Melitta Perry.

"How could a girl refuse an invitation that says "Frocks, Feathers, Furs", especially if it is also Fiona Kennedy-Altoft's latest exhibition at Retrospect Galleries at the Oracle.  And so it was on Friday night that art lovers young and old gathered to admire the whimsical works that Fiona has created based on observations of the people around her and the animals she sees in them.  Her humorous, imaginative paintings have won several awards and will bring a smile to your face..."

Congratulations to Fiona Kennedy-Altoft who continues her award streak with her finalist nomination in the Sunshine Art Awards with her Magpie piece titled Offspring. The work shows a Magpie mother with her two little children, a clever parody on the housewife and motherhood, a very fitting post for Mothers Day.

At the end of each year we look forward to presenting our annual Petits Travaux, ‘smalls’ show, featuring over 300 unique artworks from 34 artists, each measuring 25cm x 25cm.  This is our chance to showcase some of our most popular artists from the year in miniature form and at matching miniature cost, and introduce you to some new faces.  This year people loved Simon McLean’s quirky illustrations and humourous text, which sold out within a few hours.  Other favourites included Craig Martin’s whimsical paintings, Mia Taninaka’s works on wood and Susan Gorley’s retro inspired screenprints.
