Artist of the Month - June Jennifer Eurell Jennifer Eurell joined the Maleny Art and Craft Group about two years ago after she moved to Mapleton from Rockhampton where she was a member of the Central Queensland Contemporary Art group.  She majored in printmaking for her Diploma of Visual Art at CQ TAFE, and recently completed a degree in Fine Art through Curtin University. Her current  Artist of the Month exhibition at MACG shows her interest in different mediums with works that include, acrylic painting, cold wax and oil painting, and linocuts combined with hand stitching and watercolour accents. Her interest is in pattern and repetition with themes from nature, or more feminine aspects using images of clothing. Some of her work also references the time she circumnavigated the world in a yacht, and in particular her visit to the Galapagos islands.
