NEW PATH TO SAFETY PEDESTRIANS HAVE HAD A WIN THIS MONTH WITH THE OPENING OF 300M OF NEW FOOTPATH ALONG HAVANA ROAD WEST WHICH JOINS PEREGIAN SPRINGS WITH COOLUM VIA THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE OVER THE SUNSHINE MOTORWAY.

The long-awaited, 2m wide, footpath provides a safer option for the estimated 600 to 800 students a day who use it to connect to Coolum High School. Coolum High School principal Peregian Springs News - May 2021

Troy Ascott said the new path was welcome. “With no designated pathway, students previously had to negotiate their way to school using the road or the grass verge,” he said. “Parents are extremely relieved and thankful that the footpath is now open which will allow their children a much safer journey to and from school.” Division 9 Councillor Maria Suarez said the pathway, on the southern side of the road, had been well received by locals.

FROM THE ED’S DESK WHAT’S NEXT?

I moved from Peregian Beach to Peregian Springs in 2012. I’ve found one of the many benefits of growing with an area is you are grateful for what it gives but always imagine how it could be better. We’ve got great parks, good bike and footpath networks, handy services, and generous outdoor recreation fields. But one missing piece in the puzzle is a Community Centre. I first contacted Council about a Peregian Springs Community Centre in 2017, but at that time, Council and the former Councillor were focusing on delivering other lifestyle elements for our area, such as the dog park and a skate and basketball area (both welcome additions). However, we’ve come a long way in four years and it will be interesting, when the Census is done this year, to see the population

change from 2016. In 2016 kids aged between 5-9 years were our highest demographic at 11% of our suburb population - well above the then Queensland average of 6.7%. Those kids will now be teenagers, but where in our area can older kids go to mix and meet constructively, especially in the long hot summers and extended periods of rain? Do we need more than a Community Centre? Do we actually need an indoor sport and recreation facility for the whole community to enjoy? Like our main demographic - our area is almost grown up. It still needs some guidance though so it doesn’t go off the rails and you can help shape your area and strike the right balance by having your say when Council seeks feedback on issues such as public transport options (see page 6) and how we might use a community facility in the future. Until next month, Rebecca

COMMUNITY CENTRE ON AGENDA THE LAND IS THERE, ALL THE BLOCKS IN THE ESTATE ARE NEARLY SOLD AND THE QUESTION NOW IS WHEN, OR IF, THE COMMUNITY CENTRE PROPOSED FOR COUNCIL LAND NEAR THE REC CENTRE WILL BECOME A REALITY.

The Sunshine Coast Social Infrastructure Strategy 2011 (refreshed in 2014) references plans to build a community centre in Peregian Springs once a certain population ratio is reached and indicates the block of land, marked to the right, as the potential location for the centre should it go ahead. As Noosa Council breaks ground on its second iteration of a Community Centre at Peregian Beach, Peregian Springs residents living in Sunshine Coast Regional Council area may soon be surveyed on what they would like the centre to look like.

Peregian Family and Friends reports there is potentially Council funding available for planning and consultation with residents about how they would use such a facility, although the timing of next steps is unclear. Peregian Springs News has sought clarification from SCRC on the process for making a Community House a reality and will report more in our June edition.

DEBATE ON REC CENTRE FUTURE RESIDENTS HAVE SOUGHT CLARITY ABOUT A POSSIBLE TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF THE RIDGES POOL AND REC CENTRE COMPLEX THAT COULD COME BEFORE FEBRUARY 2022. The recent AGM for the Ridges’ Principal Body Corporate Scheme, the scheme that controls the Ridges area and Body Corporate fee spending, had a number of issues discussed at it’s April meeting, including the Budget for the coming 12 months and the future ownership of the Rec Centre. The Rec Centre is currently owned by FKP Residential (which was bought out by Aveo, which has then been bought out by Brookfield). Ridges homeowners, who pay Body Corporate fees, are granted access to the Rec Club under a 10-year recreational facility agreement which started in February 2012

between the Principal Body Corporate and the Rec Club owners which involves the payment of an annual access fee. Under the Rec Club facility agreement, a copy of which Peregian Springs News has sighted, Aveo is able to sell the Rec Centre to the Principal Body Corporate and it would become part of the “Common Property” of the Ridges Estate. How much Aveo will want to be paid for the facility is a question that has some residents concerned. In the agreement, section 7.2 says “the owner may give written notice to the Body Corporate of its offer to make the transfer in accordance with Clause 7.1. Such written notice of offer must state: a. The acquistion price for the Recreational Facility (whether nominal or otherwise) (if applicable); b. Any right, interest or benefit the owner requests be granted in its favour, which may

peregianspringsnews.com.au

include, without limitation, the granting of management or other rights with respect to the Scheme or the Recreational Facility and the terms of such right, interest or benefit; and c. all other essential commercial terms with respect to the propose transfer or assignment.” The Body Corporate then has 60 days to provide the owner with a notice of acceptance or rejection of the offer. Papers for the recent AGM contained a resolution from one of the resident-led subsidiary body corporates in the scheme seeking clarity around the future of the Rec Club and asking that either a new agreement be signed, or a decision made on the selling of the Rec Club by September 30 this year. Peregian Springs News sought comment from FKP/Aveo about the future of the Rec Centre and what its sale or otherwise might mean for residents and Body Corporate fees. Aveo/FKP had not responded to these questions at the time of going to press.

We will continue to follow the story over the coming months and report any comments we receive back.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON TRANSPORT PETROL PRICES AND TRAFFIC CONGESTION MAKE PUBLIC TRANSPORT A PRETTY ATTRACTIVE OPTION - BUT ONLY IF IT’S PROPERLY PLANNED AND PRACTICALLY PROVIDES FOR IT’S POPULATION. So, now’s your chance to make your mark on the region’s public transport future. From April 28 to 22 June 2021, you can have your say on a range of transport options being considered by Sunshine Coast Council. The options range widely from bus network upgrades to bus rapid transit, trackless trams, light rail transit and more and are taken from Council’s draft Mass Transit Options Analysis report which is available online. Transport Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski, pictured above right with Mayor Mark Jamieson, said while public transport was a State Government responsibility, Council was leading the important planning work to attract state and federal infrastructure funding and needed community feedback and support to achieve that. “We know we need sustainable and efficient transport options that can move us around quickly as our population grows yet still protect our local lifestyle and environment,” Cr Baberowski said.

“We are considering a range of options, and we are keen to know your thoughts.” Feedback received about the various ways of accommodating growth will help inform the preparation of the new planning scheme, which is proceeding over the next few years. Click on the QR code below or visit council’s website and sign up today to receive project updates, engagement activities and be ready to have your say. Alternatively, there are a series of pop-up events available that will be held as part of the feedback process. The closest options for local residents appears to be Coolum Library on Tuesday, June 1 from 10am to Noon or alternatively, Sunshine Plaza on Monday, June 7, from 10am to Noon.

TAKE YOUR TURN AT THE MIC PODCASTING HAS TAKEN OFF AS A UNIQUE WAY TO REACH A HUGE AUDIENCE AND IS NO LONGER JUST THE REALM OF HIP DJS OR MEDIA WIZARDS. In a sure sign that what once was exclusive and is now becoming more mainstream and accessible, Sunshine Coast Council has announced the opening of a new professional quality podcast studio at Kawana Library, providing the chance for everyone to get into the studio and behind the mic to record their story. Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said the new podcast studio was a wonderful addition to the library network and would provide the Sunshine Coast community with opportunities to develop new digital skills in podcast production.

“The Libraries’ podcast studio will provide a space for locals to record their own podcasts in the first publicly owned and operated studio on the Sunshine Coast,” Cr Law said. “StoryCast Studios is available for library members, community groups, businesses or sporting clubs to book – whether you’re tech savvy or just interested in giving podcasting a go. He said the studio would be free to try until June 30, 2021. “The purpose-built podcast studio provides access to high quality audio equipment, including a podcast production mixer with four studio mics and headphones. “Libraries will also be providing customers with a range of online podcast resources and training opportunities. “Workshops will focus on developing

Arts Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said the Creative Spaces program helped build a network of places and spaces for artists to connect, create and collaborate. “This diversity is key and allows for artists of all types to find spaces that can truly support and inspire their practice. You might have or need a great floor for dance rehearsals or an inspiring view for poets, painters or writers. As I said, variety is essential to ensure we can cater for everyone’s creative needs. “I’d suggest anyone with an appropriate space to rent or anyone looking for a space to create, should take a look at the site and register.” Registration is free.

CAKE MAKER SPRINKLES MAGIC EVER WONDERED WHAT YOUR LOCAL BEACH OR PICTURESQUE SUNSHINE COAST LOCATION MIGHT LOOK LIKE IF THEY WERE A CAKE SPRINKLE?

Look no further than resident cake artist Toni Kidman’s delicate range of magical coloured, homemade, cake decorating sugar sprinkles. Recently nominated for Best Product at the Australian Cake Awards, Toni’s handdyed cake sprinkles are not only named after local areas, the unique QR Code on each jar will take you on a geography trip to the actual place the sprinkles are named after. It’s enough to make the non-cake makers amongst us start baking simply to sprinkle goodies with our favourite coloured beach. It has not been an easy ride for entrepreneur Toni Kidman, owner and operator of Peregian Springs-based business Frosting Cakery, to get up and running. “It was a year-long battle to get my home kitchen council registered,” Toni said. Until recently the Sunshine Coast Regional Council did not allow home kitchens to be registered for food production and sale. “The only options for me were to either hire a commercial kitchen or build a full commercial kitchen in my garage,” Toni said. Taking the matter into her own hands she contacted the council explaining how and why it is possible for home kitchens to be registered. Speaking to other cake makers across Australia, who provided her with their council requirements, Toni was able to forward the information to Sunshine Coast Council and make her case. The local councillor and environmental officer agreed to see her home, finding her hygiene and Workplace Health and Safety all conformed to regulator’s requirements. 12

Toni’s Home Kitchen Registration Certificate was approved in December 2019 and her efforts have paved the way for other caterers to use their home kitchens for commercial reasons. Whilst Toni has been a cake artist for over 10 years, supplying beautifully decorated cakes for all manner of occasions, it is only recently that she has found herself in the cake sprinkles industry. “The colours that I was keen to use were no where to be found locally, which is why I started experimenting with my own colours,” she said. The sprinkle base comes in large white bags of sugar balls from Italy. From there, Toni hand dyes all the colours herself and mixes them until they are combined to a perfect blend. “My first colour mix was an amazing cotton candy combination which I named Peregian Beach after its cotton candy coloured sunsets.” Toni sells her cakes, with added sprinkle magic, for all celebrations. What would happen if a cake commissioner in Maleny wanted Sunrise Beach colours? “I’d improvise,” laughs Toni! See www.frostingcakery.com.au Written By: Fiona Ewington peregianspringsnews.com.au

CANDLELIGHT VIGIL FOR VICTIMS THE MONTH OF MAY HAS BEEN DESIGNATED AS DOMESTIC AND FAMILY VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH IN QUEENSLAND AND ITS START WAS MARKED ON THE SUNSHINE COAST ON MAY 5 WITH A CANDLE-LIGHTING VIGIL AT MAROOCHYDORE. Sunshine Coast Council and Centacare joined forces for the Let’s Grow Together event in a bid to put the spotlight on the challenges some members of our communities face every day. Sunshine Coast Council Mayor Mark Jamieson said “every single person in our community has a right to feel safe”. “Yet this scourge on communities continues to seep into everyday lives and impacts all ages, cultures, genders and faiths,” he said. “This needs to stop. “Domestic and family violence is a fundamental violation of basic human rights and I urge everyone to take a stand against it and make it stop. “We must also never lose sight of the intergenerational impacts of domestic and family violence with the evidence showing that a hight proportion or perpetrators were victims of, or experienced, family and domestic violence as a child.” It is estimated that one in four Australian children are exposed to domestic and family violence and in Queensland, over a 10 year period, 266 people lost their lives to it. Centacare Family and Relationships Director Di Swan said the event was an opportunity to come together as a community and remember the women and children who lost their lives to domestic violence in the past 12 months. “Our services across the Sunshine Coast focus on risk assessment, safety planning, advocacy, court support and strong collaboration with Police, Child Safety and 16

other community agencies,” Mrs Swan said. “We work towards women and children being able to stay safely in their homes where possible through formal collaborative system responses to address perpetrator accountability.” Sunshine Coast Council Community Portfolio Councillor David Law said domestic and family violence crime was a conversation everyone needed to have. “Abusive behaviour is not always physical. It can be emotional, sexual, financial, social, verbal, psychological, technology based or other controlling and threatening behaviours that cause another person to be afraid or scared,” Cr Law said. “It can happen at home or outside the home. “It can also include abuse that occurs in the community between siblings, parents, children, grandparents, aunts and uncles.” If you suspect that someone you know is being abused, there are three ways that you can help, depending on the situation. 1. Talk to the victim 2. Provide resources and help them take action 3. In an emergency, call triple zero (000). Centacare provides a range of specialist support services for women, children and families impacted by domestic and family violence. For more information, contact the Maroochydore office on 07 5430 9300. If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, call 1800 RESPECT on 1800 737 732 for advice or support. This service is open 24 hours and provides confidential advice. In an emergency, call the Police on 000. All incidents of violence should be reported to the Police.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

FANTASTIC FELINES ON A ROLL FROM HORSES TO DOGS, NEW ZEALAND, CANBERRA AND MELBOURNE, ANGELA HUNT’S JOURNEY TO BECOMING A MOBILE CAT GROOMER HAS HAD ITS TWISTS.

Meeting Angela at the Peregian Beach home she shares with her cat and dog and seeing her stand next to the large van that is home to her cat grooming business, two things become clear pretty quickly. One - she is a pocket rocket - just under five foot tall - and two - she is super passionate about animals and doing all that she can to make their lives a little easier. Angela shares the story of growing up in suburban West Auckland and falling in love with horses because a neighbour across the road had one. That love moved into learning how to break horses naturally - a horse

whispering approach. Her size led her to try out race riding and she says even though she won a couple of races as a jockey, the feeling of winning was nowhere near as good as the feeling of helping a horse to overcome its fear of humans as a trainer. While the horses took her all over the world, and a relationship took her to Canberra for a while, it was a friend, and the chance find of a great place to live with a bit of space close to the beach, that tipped her hand to coming to live on the Sunshine Coast. While she started out dog grooming as a way of making a living Angela said she soon realised that there was a demand for cat grooming on the Coast and no one really offered it as a service. Knowing from experience that she could

peregianspringsnews.com.au

create her own space in the back of a customised, airconditioned van and work from a mobile office, Fantastic Felines Cat Grooming was born. Angela said she worked for a while in a salon where cats were groomed to learn the tricks of the trade and came to understand that the idea cats keep themselves clean was not quite right. “I’ve learned that cats don’t groom themselves - they lick themselves. The cats ingest all of that grease and they are still not clean. “People don’t realise how dirty their cat is until they groom them”. Angela’s van is deliberately designed to limit the distractions for cats - with the doors shut and the airconditioning on there’s no windows to want to escape out of, just a quiet space, a chair and a specially designed bathing area that allows the cats to be washed without sitting their paws under the

water. It is this feeling of water over the paws that Angela said cats don’t like - however most are ok with being washed if water is introduced carefully. The average groom takes from 45 minutes to 1.5 hours and prices start at $130. Mostly, Angela said she grooms the cats on her lap. “When a cat decides we’re done - we’re finished.” Call Angela on 0478 970 420 or see www.fantasticfelines.com.au for more.

COUNCIL NEWS WITH DIVISION 9 COUNCILLOR MARIA SUAREZ

A LOOK AT THE YEAR THAT WAS CELEBRATING A YEAR IN THE JOB

It’s been a year since I began my role as your Division 9 Councillor so I thought I’d reflect on the past year and look forward to some of my future goals. I have learnt so much, it’s been interesting learning about the vast and varied work of council. Some of my previous misconceptions have been dismissed, others have been confirmed. I’ve enjoyed working with the other Sunshine Coast councillors, who are a positive and respectful group open to working collaboratively on issues. SOME WINS ALONG THE WAY

Achievements I’m proud to be involved with this past year include improving the transparency of council meetings with live streaming and providing a mechanism for confidential reports to eventually be made public; championing sustainable development which balances economic and environmental benefits; continuing to protect and enhance environmental areas such as the Blue Heart and inter-urban break; and endorsing a new community engagement framework so our community can continue to inform council decisions.

MORE INFORMATION ONLINE

Please head to my Facebook page @MariaSuarezDivision9 to hear my full overview of my first year as a Sunshine Coast councillor. HAVE YOUR SAY

Two issues requiring feedback at haveyoursay. sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au/open-consultation are stormwater management and mass transit. Stormwater management is about protecting our waterways from pollutants and increased or concentrated water flow, using rain and stormwater as a resource, and managing stormwater flood risk for the wellbeing and resilience of our communities. Have your say on the Draft Stormwater Management Strategy before Friday 14 May, 2021. Tell council your thoughts on a public transport network system for the Sunshine Coast by providing feedback on Council’s draft Options Analysis report before it goes to the Queensland Government. Feedback closes 22 June, 2021.

CHALLENGES AHEAD

COME AND SAY HELLO

For the next three years I hope to further understand the waste issues across the region so we can continue to consider community requests for kerbside collection or waste vouchers. Along with division one and five councillors, I’m advocating for more funding to seal gravel roads and will continue to look at resolving traffic safety and pedestrian safety issues, with road upgrades and new pathways. I’d like to complete Jack Morgan Park at Coolum, and will continue to work with Peregian Springs residents on the preplanning of a community facility.

On Wednesday 12 May I’ll be out and about in the community to talk to you – 8.30 am to 10.30 am at Coco Cantina, Peregian Springs Shopping Centre; 11 am to 1pm Arts Shelter, Tickle Park, Coolum Beach; and 2pm to 4pm Outside White’s IGA, Bli Bli. Hope to see you there. If you have other suggestions, please contact me on 5475 9810, maria.suarez@ sunshinecoast.qld.gov.au or via my Facebook page @MariaSuarezDivision9. Cheers, Cr.

STATE GOVERNMENT NEWS WITH MEMBER FOR NINDERRY DAN PURDIE

ROAD UPGRADES WELCOMED GOOD NEWS ON ROAD UPGRADES

Some good news for regular users of Yandina Coolum Road, with funds finally committed to commencing long overdue upgrades. Work is due to start on bitumen resealing works on approximately 5km of the road, from the other side of the Bruce Highway through to Valdora Road. This will improve the safety of the road by improving skid resistance, provide a waterproofing layer, and help extend the life of the road in the short term. This is an important first step in our ongoing campaign to improve the overall safety of this road. Last month, I jumped in with a local trucker drive to film the condition of the road, which was recently listed in RACQ’s top 10 worst roads in Queensland, and it’s clear there’s a lot more work needs to be done, but this is an important first step. You can check out the vision on my Facebook page. EML FEE HIKE

My office has been inundated from concerned property holders in Coolum and Peregian Springs who were recently informed of a 112% hike in the Emergency Management Levy (EML). This levy is collected by Council (via rates notices) on behalf of the State Government for the provision of fire and emergency services. Currently, Coolum and Peregian Springs homeowners pay an annual levy of $110.60, however due to the reclassification of the district and the (welcome) addition of five permanent officers at the Coolum station, the levy will increase to $226.

NAMBOUR SHOW A GO The Sunshine Coast Agricultural Show is coming up with gates to open on Friday, June 11 and close on June 13. The Friday is a public holiday for those in the 24

This appears to be yet another classic example of the State Labor Government giving with one hand, and taking with the other, and I look forward to the Minister’s response to my letter on behalf of concerned locals. COOLUM LIONESSES

During the last sitting of Parliament, I took the opportunity to highlight the invaluable contribution of one of our local community’s most enduring service groups, the Coolum Lionesses. Unfortunately, due to a directive from Lions International, Lioness clubs have been forced to close, which will indeed be a loss locally. The Coolum Lionesses began their journey in 1978, and since then have raised more than half a million dollars. But they have invested so much more than money into our community – they have given their time, compassion and hope for a better life for those less fortunate. I look forward to hosting the Coolum Lionesses for a celebratory morning tea later this month where I will get to personally thank them for their tremendous contribution to our community. STAY IN TOUCH

If you have any State Government matters to discuss with Dan, drop by the office at 11 Heathfield Rd, Coolum Beach, call 5406 7900 or email ninderry@parliament.gov.au Sunshine Coast Council region. Competition sections are now open with details to be found at www.sunshinecoastshow. com.au. For the latest updates, see @ sunshinecoastagriculturalshow on Facebook. peregianspringsnews.com.au

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEWS: MEMBER FOR FAIRFAX TED O’BRIEN

ROADTRIP PROVES POPULAR AUTUMN ROAD TRIP

It was great to meet so many Fairfax constituents during my recent autumn road trip. I visited Peregian Springs, setting up my mobile office near the roundabout outside the Country Club during the busy morning school run. If you couldn’t come to speak with me in person and you have an issue or concern that you’d like to discuss, please contact my office on 07 5479 2800 or email ted.obrien.mp@aph. gov.au. If you’d like to speak to me in person, I’ll be at the Sunshine Coast Show in Nambour, June 11 -13. Keep an eye on my website for dates and locations of my winter road trip, coming soon! DEAL SEALED

I was in Yandina Creek recently to meet local resident Angelo Reitano. Angelo has been campaigning for improvements to Zgrajewski Road for three decades. He contacted my office last November to explain his frustration and I was pleased to personally deliver news to him a few weeks ago that the Federal Government has allocated $3.2 million to seal the gravel road. The funding was provided as part of the Local

Roads and Community Infrastructure Funding grants. So far, the Government has provided $1.5 billion dollars through this fund to boost local employment, businesses and help the economy recover from COVID-19. The Sunshine Coast Council has provided the balance of the funding for the $3.52 million resealing project and will carry out the work. I can assure you, after 30 years, Angelo can’t wait for the job to start. OLYMPIC BID LEAPS HURDLE

As the Prime Minister’s representative for our bid to host the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games in South East Queensland, I’m delighted with the status of our candidature. We’re not there yet, but the PM’s offer for the Federal Government to fund 50% of critical infrastructure puts us in a winning position. Time will tell if we’re chosen to host the Games. GET IN TOUCH

As always, please don’t hestitate to get in touch with any Federal issues, concerns or inquiries on 5479 280; via email at ted.obrien. mp@aph.gov.au or visit us at 17 Southern Drive, Maroochydore.

LOCAL PROFILE

BEATING LOCKDOWN WITH ART THERE HAS BEEN ONE GIFT THE PANDEMIC HAS GIVEN – AND THAT’S TIME. BUT THE PAUSE IN USUAL ROUTINES FOR MANY, ESPECIALLY YOUNG PEOPLE, HAS BEEN FILLED WITH PANDEMIC PANIC AND FEARS ABOUT THE FUTURE. One young Peregian Springs man, sick of the bad news on TV and social media during the height of COVID, unplugged and picked up a paintbrush for the first time. Fast forward to now, 20 paintings later, Felix Gaborit (pictured) is exhibiting at the Bendigo Bank Community Art Project at Tewantin and has launched a website to showcase his work and hopefully inspire other youth to use these changeable times to explore their creativity. Felix, a 21-year-old IT business owner developed his artistic and musical interests during COVID by going outside and noticing what made him feel good about being in nature and finding a way to express that. With natural landscapes, animals and skyscapes his interest, often bringing in a number of scenes into one piece, he uses bright acrylic colours boldly in all his paintings, recreating how he feels being outdoors. His latest mural, a 2m x 1.4m canvas, brings together the mystery of jungle, beauty of blossom trees with the calm of floating islands and purity of crystalline rock formations. “The aim of the painting to bring joy and excitement,” Felix said “(my general) theme of nature’s beauty is a healing experience ...it’s an inspirational reset palate for the eyes, mind and soul.” “I would like all people who view my artwork to recognise the incredible beauty and unimaginable complexity and vast expression of nature and to recognise they are part of this wonder. “To remove any limiting beliefs and recognise their potential is far greater 28

than can be imagined or told. It is truly infinite and absolutely achievable - so activate your consciousness - you are enough!” Some people like to sing or write but painting and music, Felix said, are his creative avenues and he hopes by people seeing something bright and exciting like his art, will motivate them think ‘I want to go and do something’. A tip for tapping into creativity Felix says is to recognise the power of now and ‘let go of selflimiting thoughts of inadequacy or focusing on just earning money’. “Young people especially need to recognise what they are part of... and once they change that perspective (they) create an environment to stop, look and recognise that maybe (they) should sit down and do something different,” Felix said. Check out more of Felix’s art, music and time lapse painting creations on his website www.felixg.art. See the exhibition at Bendigo Bank Tewantin, 114 Poinciana Ave, from May 5 to May 28. peregianspringsnews.com.au

ANDY WARHOL & THE BIG APPLE

ALTHOUGH BORN AND BURIED IN PITTSBURGH PENNSYLVANIA, ONE OF AMERICA’S MOST-RENOWNED POP-ARTISTS, ANDY WARHOL, WILL FOREVER BE ASSOCIATED WITH NEW YORK, AKA THE BIG APPLE. BY LENETTE PAUL

Arriving in Manhattan in 1949 as a successful young commercial illustrator Warhol gained a place for himself in the ‘popular’ mid-century mass culture movement called pop-art, branching out into myriad avant-garde activities assuring him massive amounts of free publicity and celebrity. Pop artists found inspiration in cartoons and everyday objects and Warhol hit the big time with his renditions of thirty-two Campbell’s Soup Cans and Brillo Soap Pads Boxes. The original Campbell’s 1962 exhibition was not successful but the few sold were bought back to keep the collection together, now showing at the New York Museum of Modern Art. Warhol and his Manhattan roommate of twenty years, his beloved mother Julia, loved Campbell’s Soup and tasted them all. Warhol discovered the grunge band The Velvet Underground and designed the Velvet’s debut album’s artwork; a banana that peeled 30

right off the cover! With Warhol’s promotion, Studio 54 became the premier NY party venue for celebrities and groupies: everyone trying to be more outrageous than the other. Drug and alcoholfuelled excess eventually shut the club down. Studio 54 is now a successful Broadway theatre. Warhol’s wet-ink screen-prints are easily recognisable and silk screens of the iconic celebrities Elvis Presley, Jackie Kennedy, Chairman Mao, Marlon Brando and Marilyn Monroe are worth a fortune. Andy also produced a TV show called Andy Warhol’s Fifteen Minutes believing that in today’s media age, everyone can be famous for fifteen minutes. His legendary film of the Empire State Building was sensational: eight hours from dusk till late at night in one uninterrupted shot. “Is this art?” The Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburg is the largest museum in America devoted to only one artist. Well-worth a visit. peregianspringsnews.com.au
