Julie Pretyman Exhibition
Julie Pretyman began painting expressionistic landscapes in Noosa 20 years ago. Using colour in this way tuned her into the vibration and language of colour which led into what she called ‘A Journey into the Sacred’. As a primary school teacher, she simplified it all for young people, to teach in schools and train teachers. She then went onto create ‘The Kaleidoscope Inside Us’, holistic activities based on nine paintings. The nine paintings and the activities to go with them will be displayed in the Caloundra library.
When: Monday 6 September to Sunday 26 September from 9am-5pm.
Where: Library Caloundra, 8 Omrah Ave, Caloundra.
