Tweed Tranquility at Uki

By Madeleine Murray

MURWILLUMBAH ARTIST Roslyn Oakes is having a show at the Uki Post Office and it’s well worth a visit.

“My art is my passion and my therapy,” Roslyn told The Weekly.

“The beauty of the Tweed is a constant source of inspiration for me. I love to get out in the great outdoors to sketch and paint.

“I’m thrilled to have a show in such a beautifully refurbished space, with the support of the amazing Art Post Uki team and the excellent Bastion Lane Espresso coffee.”

As a child, Roslyn loved drawing. She was asthmatic, so it became her entertainment when sick or in hospital where she could bring her art materials.

After raising a family she decided to renew her love of art and began classes with well-known local Graeme Stevenson OAM. Graeme created the TV show Colour in Your Life which takes you into different artists’ studios.

The classes with Graeme led to her involvement with the Paint Your Life foundation, a not-for-profit organisation to bring art to correctional centres, disabled children and aged care facilities.

She has been an art teacher at a local nursing home for the past 10 years.

Roslyn worked with well-known local artist Andy Reimanis and other painters on the spectacular Green Cauldron Panorama, a 360-degree view from the top of Wollumbin/ Mt Warning. She has won several awards and been represented by Mist, and Thom galleries. She was part of the recent Bird Nerds show at Small Works Gallery in Murwillumbah.

Colour in Your Life featured Roslyn in an episode, and her work has been published in The Tweed Book and Australian Artist Magazine.

Roslyn is the current co-curator and artist in residence at Murwillumbah Main Street gallery.

Tweed Tranquility is at the Uki Post Office, Kyogle Rd, from June 22 until August 2. The opening is at 6pm, Thursday, June 22.
