In Memory of W***y Webster 🎨🧡🌈

The Gympie Regional Gallery community is saddened by the recent passing of local artist W***y Webster.

In 2022, W***y celebrated a significant milestone with his first solo exhibition at Gympie Regional Gallery. Curated by local artist Sandra Ross, who worked closely with W***y through her home studio, the exhibition was a wonderful success, with all of W***y's artworks finding new homes.

W***y was a much-loved member of the Gympie community, remembered for his infectious smile, playful personality and love of colour. His creativity and enthusiasm brought joy to those around him, and his exhibition remains a special part of the Gallery's history.

Our thoughts are with W***y's family, friends and all those who knew and loved him.
