There are many artists associated with Cedar Galleries, either as part of the regular Friday art community or as exhibitors and tutors. Many of these talented people can run workshops at Cedar Galleries or take commissions for special art pieces. To get in touch with any of them, just contact us.

Carolyn Woudenberg

Carolyn is also has been drawing since she was a young girl, she used charcoal as well as pencils to create work that she then entered into the Mount Larcom Show and won many prizes. She also found her way back into the world of art through folk art and meet Jeannie at these workshops. It didn’t take her long to move on to using oil paints and become one of the gang a Cedar Galleries. Carolyn creates realistic portraits full of emotion and cute cuddly animals with acrylics and oils.

Jeannie Sturt

Jeannie Sturt commenced her journey into the art world around 20 years ago when she started to explore folk art, this soon lead her on to attending oil painting workshops with the encouragement of her friend Carolyn. They attended workshops by landscape artist Ron Cameron at Cedar Galleries, which started Jeannie’s association with the Gallery. Jeannie’s work is held in many private collections around Australia including as far away as Western Australia. Jeannie now works in Pastels Oils and Acrylics with her passion being creating images of realistic animals in pastels and oils. She has attended many workshops to further her techniques with one being Canberra Summer School to study with pastelis Lyn Melady. Jeannie creates landscapes that draw you in and make you full like you are there, as well as images depicting the animals that she loves.

Laraine Frost

Laraine Frost started out drawing ballerinas for her cousins when she was a young girl, but it was many years before she got back into art. She rejuvenated her interest when introduced to folk art by fellow artist Carolyn Woudenberg 22 years ago. From there she went on to attend many workshops in oils acrylics and mixed media. Laraine has exhibited at Cedar Galleries for many years as well as entering the Mount Larcom show and winning awards for her work. Her work is made up of bright coloured abstracts, dancers and rainbow lorikeets.

Marj Cameron

I am a self taught sculptor, and have been sculpting since 2001. I work in Limestone, Hebel and Timber. I still have the first piece I did, a little fat penguin which my husband loves. I am involved in a few local galleries and run the occasional workshop. I tutor sculpting weekly at Cedar Galleries which I really enjoy.

Virginia Harding

Virginia is a self-taught artist who has been drawing since the age of 7, since retiring she has had more time to devote to art and developing her painting skills. She has had works exhibited in the Mount Larcom show where she has won several prizes. She has also exhibited at the Botanical Gardens with The Waterfront Artists and most recently with this current exhibition. Her work is made up of cheeky feminine images which we believe could be a reflection the artist’s personality.
