A show about what lingers emotionally after experience, and the ways creative practice can hold memory, vulnerability and joy.

AFTER GLOW, a vibrant and emotionally resonant group exhibition bringing together the work of talented artists Meli Axford, Trish Tait, Sue Axford and Janette Lindores.

Set within the beautiful Studio 8 Currumbin space, AFTER GLOW explores colour, memory, materiality and the emotional traces that remain after moments of connection, transformation and care. Spanning painting, ceramics, textiles and glass, the exhibition brings together four distinct creative practices united by a shared sensitivity to atmosphere, surface and storytelling.

  • Meli Axford’s large-scale figurative paintings explore themes of love, safety, visibility and freedom for women and girls through vivid poolside landscapes that balance realism with abstraction and cinematic colour.
  • Trish Tait’s hand-built ceramics and watercolours create quiet conversations between object and image.
  • Sue Axford’s sculptural stone pieces and enamelled glass vessels bring further texture, tactility
  • Janette Lismore’s textile works add depth to the exhibition.

Opening night drinks offer an opportunity to experience the exhibition in an intimate setting while meeting the artists behind the work.

Wander through the exhibition, enjoy conversation and refreshments, and immerse yourself in a richly layered visual environment where colour and material become emotionally charged.

Whether you are a collector, creative, designer, curator or simply someone who loves being surrounded by art and conversation, we would love you to join us for an inspiring evening celebrating contemporary practice, connection and community.

Opening night drinks and light refreshments provided.

Friday 26 June 5:30pm to 7:30pm.
