CURRENT EXHIBITION

27 April to 23 May

Leonie Cooper-Squires – Immersion

“Immersion” presents a new body of work from Bellingen-based artist Leonie Cooper Squires. Stemming from her 50-year career with colour and surface design techniques, the exhibition showcases her unique exploration into botanical printing processes onto silk, wool, linen and cotton. Sampled from the environment both native and exotic plant forms, alchemise with these natural fibres to reveal striking process-based designs.

Cynthia Miller – All in the Minds Eye

I paint stylised landscapes and still-life florals. Horses, an abiding love, were my first subject and are part of my repertoire of choices still. I am a self-taught painter and I’m loving every minute of my adventure! I paint in my home studio in Bellingen.

COMING UP

25 May to 20 June

Robyn Jackson

Robyn Jackson, an Australian artist, paints vibrant nature scenes on silk, reflecting the East Coast’s beauty. Her expressive works, infused with emotion, have garnered awards and are exhibited widely.

Lisa Zanderigo – Earth & Ochre

The exhibition ‘Earth & Ochre” is a series of oil paintings I have done over the last two years, inspired by the local landscape and after visiting the Red Centre and exploring the West and East MacDonnell Ranges.

The environment has weaved its way through my life, as it does many people’s lives, inspiring, engaging and relaxing. But our treatment and attitude to it has also inspired anger, frustration and dread for what our future holds as we arrogantly consume and pollute our way to dystopia.

Landscape painting in Australia is heavily weighted with expectations for Australian artists, and the need to engage with the landscape is all encompassing in the current climate & environmental crisis as it deteriorates in front of our eyes.
