Exhibitions
The Lagoons Gallery features monthly exhibitions from a range of talented local artists across the Mackay Whitsunday region. See below to see what is coming up.
‘Bold Botanicals’ by Loren Vanzella
From a young age, Loren Vanzella has viewed the world through a camera lens, capturing the ever-changing essence of her surroundings.
Each photograph freezes a moment in time, preserving the structure, growth, beauty, or decay of a subject.
The camera offers clarity, detail, and resolution beyond natural vision, and through editing,
Loren uncovers deeper meanings in her images.
By manipulating and editing these photos, she strives to push these captured moments forward, giving them new life.
As a photography artist, Loren’s goal is to reveal nature and everyday scenes with a fresh perspective, providing an alternative way of seeing.
This exhibition, Bold Botanicals, is on display at the Lagoons Gallery, located within the Botanic Gardens Café.
The Café and Gallery are open Wednesday to Friday from 9am to 2pm, and on weekends from 8am to 3pm.
Upcoming Exhibitions to look out for:
