Celebrated Local Artist Showcases Over 20 Works This Summer
Frame Tree Custom Framing is thrilled to announce a major solo exhibition by renowned Eumundi-based artist James McKay, running from 1 December 2025 to 30 January 2026.
The exhibition will feature more than 20 original artworks, each exemplifying McKay’s distinctive style and deep connection to the Australian landscape.
James McKay grew up on a farm in Africa, where he began painting with watercolour more than 40 years ago. In 1999, he moved to Australia and was immediately captivated by the country’s unique landscape, soft colours, and luminous light. James has since travelled extensively across Australia, painting and exhibiting his works in a variety of settings.
Now based on the Sunshine Coast, James teaches workshops and exhibits his art in galleries nationwide. Largely self-taught, he enjoys sharing the many innovative techniques he has developed through years of experimentation. While watercolour remains his primary medium, James also produces stunning pieces in oil, acrylic, and gouache.
His paintings are known for their heart-warming messages, gentle colour transitions, and romantic, nostalgic storytelling. James’s work continues to inspire and connect with audiences, reflecting his passion for both the Australian landscape and the creative process.
The public is invited to celebrate the opening night on Wednesday, 3 December 2025, from 5:00pm to 7:00pm at Frame Tree Custom Framing, Cooroy. Art lovers, collectors, and the local community are encouraged to join for a vibrant evening of creativity, conversation, and inspiration. Complimentary refreshments will be served.
