Exhibition on display 7 February – 3 March 2024
Scope: My Backyard is the 3rd exhibition in the UniSQ School of Creative Arts x St Andrew’s Hospital exhibition series. Established in February 2023 and held on-site at St Andrew’s Hospital, Toowoomba, these exhibitions stage creative interventions in a clinical space.
For My Backyard, artists are asked to consider their immediate surroundings and how these can be interpreted or represented visually. This may mean investigating notions of place, of the everyday, of simple beauty, of banal rituals, or of small adventures close to home.
Curators: Rhi Johnson & David Usher
Exhibition Site: St Andrew’s Hospital, Toowoomba

Workshop Outline
This painting workshop will explore paint application, composition, scale, mark making, and colour through looking at the portrait, landscape, still life, figure, and life drawing. Students will be encouraged to explore, find what excites them when creating, to then be able to develop one genre or explore more with Daniel’s guidance.
