What’s Happening?
Feather & Lawry Gallery in Toowoomba is presenting a new exhibition, Faces and Places, from 29 May to 26 June 2026.
The exhibition brings together the work of two artists, Febe Zylstra and Pamela Gough.
Their practices are linked by memory, narrative and lived experience.
While their styles move in different directions, both artists explore stories shaped by people, emotion and place.
Zylstra’s work turns inward, using the human figure and landscape to reflect emotion, identity and personal memory.
Her pieces invite viewers into quiet, intimate spaces where faces and horizons carry deeper meaning.
Gough’s work looks outward, with textured landscape pieces shaped by the rhythms of Australian life.
Her work celebrates old Queenslanders, familiar environments and the land as a witness to history and community.
Why It Matters
Faces and Places gives Toowoomba audiences a thoughtful look at how art can hold personal and shared stories.
The exhibition connects human emotion with the Australian landscape, showing how memory can live in both people and places.
It also highlights two different artistic voices in one exhibition, giving visitors contrasting but connected perspectives.
By the Numbers
- 2 artists are featured, with Febe Zylstra and Pamela Gough presenting distinct but connected bodies of work.
- 29 May to 26 June 2026 gives visitors almost one month to view the exhibition in Toowoomba.
- 5 weekdays are available each week, with the gallery open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm.
Local Impact
For Toowoomba, the exhibition adds another cultural draw to the city’s local arts calendar.
It gives residents and visitors a chance to engage with Queensland stories through portraiture, landscape and memory.
The setting at Feather & Lawry Gallery also places the exhibition within a local creative space.
Zoom In
Zylstra’s work focuses on the human figure and landscape as emotional markers.
Her practice is shaped by reflection, identity and inner narrative.
A face or horizon becomes more than a visual subject in her work. It becomes a way to explore the stories people carry.
Gough’s landscapes are grounded in place, texture and local memory.
Her pieces draw from everyday Australian life and the stories held by older Queensland homes and familiar environments.
Together, the two artists form a conversation about emotion, land and what it means to be human.
Zoom Out
Faces and Places sits at the meeting point of personal reflection and shared environment.
One artist looks inward through the human form and inner memory.
The other looks outward through landscape, history and community.
Together, their works ask viewers to consider how private emotion and public place can sit beside each other.
What To Look For Next?
The exhibition opens on 29 May and continues until 26 June 2026.
Visitors can attend Feather & Lawry Gallery in Toowoomba from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
