Nebula painting certainly has universal appeal 

Published on 19 February, 2013 

Agnes Water artist Marie Green has had great success turning her passion for telescopic views of 'deep sky objects' into brush strokes on her canvas.

Her 'Tarantula Nebula 2012' painting won last year's People's Choice $1000 prize sponsored by CQUniversity, as part of the Bayton Award exhibition at Rockhampton Regional Art Gallery.

Now she has returned the favour, using the cultural gifts program to donate her 'Rosette Nebula' artwork for display in one of the main committee rooms on Rockhampton Campus.

Marie says she spent three years mastering the texture and brush techniques required to portray a sense of movement and depth in her works.

CQUniversity Art Collection Manager Sue Smith encouraged other artists to consider using the cultural gifts program to donate works to the University. Details are via http://arts.gov.au/cgp
