Sarah Larsen multi media artist of Thangool central Queensland Australia

The Flying Arts "Connections" touring exhibition opened in Cooroy Arts Centre and will tour the state eventually returning to Brisbane state library for 3 weeks. I have work selected in this prestigious exhibition. I travelled to Cooroy and attended the opening night on the 3rd February. There is more info on the Flying Arts website. I am available to teach for Flying Arts again this year.

I entered 3 works in the prestigious Sanctuary Cove Art Show on at Sanctuary Cove, on the Gold Coast, 4th &th 5 June, 2011. One work was sold, which is a pleasing result. I am looking forward to the next one.

I was involved in a group exhibition "Outback Walkabout" with two other artists at the Stockmans Hall of Fame, Longreach, from the 30th July to the 28th August, 2011. Thanks to Jane & Tony at Art on Caiirncross who organised this. The exhibition was reasonably sucessful, with much interest and a few sales.

I had a Solo Retrospective exhibition at Cafe Aroma in Kariboe Street, Biloela (formerly known as Kristines Coffee Shop) in November 2011.

In 2011 I also completed a number of commissions, including a challenging 4 piece restoration work, and also taught a variety of workshops. This included a free Art & Yoga workshop for the survivors of the floods in Theodore. Funding for materials was sought and gained through Creative Regions to whom I am very grateful. It was highly successful.

I am taking part in the Chinese Whispers Art Book Collaboration. It started in March after the floods. It will go for another 10 months, then we will put together an exhibition of the books, and a couple of larger pieces, each, to open in Melbourne, then travel to Brisbane, Rockhampton, and Townsville. Dates and venues TBC. The blog address is: www.whisperscollaboration.blogspot.com.

This 4.2 tonne sandstone sculpture is a commissioned work which I undertook for Enterprise Biloela Association Inc., to commemorate Queensland's 150th birthday, and the 75th anniversary of our local newspaper, The Central Telegraph. The sculpture incorporates a map of Queensland, and logos of The Central Telegraph, Q150, the Banana Shire, and the Queensland Government. The unveiling date was Sunday the 18th of October, 2009.
