DALE LEACH

For 2020 Noosa Open Studios, 30 local artists were chosen to design and paint a deckchair. The Cooroora Woodworkers made the frames from locally sourced timber which came from a single tree in Cooran. My deckchair was named after the Shaka, the Hawaiian hand gesture that gives a positive greeting and good wishes to others. Especially if the back of the hand is facing you. The scrub turkey is a local resident and Laguna Bay is the heart of Noosa. The deckchair went to auction and the proceeds go towards the printing of the 2021 NOS Guide Book.
