Enjoy a unique arts and culture experience during your next day trip from Brisbane with Joy, a contemporary art exhibition by Queensland artist Glenda Charles at Obsidian Bide: Art Gallery and Studio on Bribie Island.

Known for her expressive use of colour and intuitive painting style, Charles presents a vibrant new body of work that explores joy, creativity, nature and connection. Drawing inspiration from coastal landscapes, gardens and the natural environment, her paintings combine bold abstraction with organic forms and rich layers of oil paint.

A respected artist, educator and long-time environmental advocate, Charles has exhibited throughout Queensland and is well known for her passion for nature and community arts. This exhibition showcases an exciting new direction in her practice and offers visitors the opportunity to view and purchase original artwork directly from the exhibition.

Located in the heart of Bongaree, Obsidian Bide is Bribie Island's independent contemporary art gallery, offering visitors a welcoming cultural destination just a short stroll from the waterfront, cafes and local attractions. Joy also provides a preview of Glenda Charles' work for the upcoming Bribie Island Arts Trail September 12-13, making it an ideal time to discover her latest work. Perfect for art lovers, collectors, weekend explorers and visitors considering a coastal lifestyle or sea change destination.
