Conversation with the Artists & Gallery TourVery happy to present this group exhibitions with 10 esteemed artists from around the country, and it’s all about houses and buildings – a very topical subject at the moment! Home Delivery: A collection of houses inspired art is focused on depictions of houses and other dwelling places, reflecting a diversity of physical structures – from lone houses surrounded by nature, to buildings in urban and suburban settings. The exhibition gives rise to thoughts of home as a social construct, idea or state of mind. Drawn from life, memory, imagination, or from sources such as films, books, newspapers and magazines, the artworks in the exhibition are bound to reveal a variety of human presences and traces of activity.

“My love of landscape and the flora and fauna within are celebrated here in a variety of mediums. Large scale acrylic paintings, to intricate watercolour miniatures and wood engravings. This is a collection of experiences and media, exploring the inspiration and potential of the elements within my local Hawkesbury landscape and beyond”.

Sisters Irene Manion and Ellen King work in different media interpreting their common subject – birds, in unique ways. Ellen King pushes our understanding of felting in excitng directions in her wearable jackets and shawls, while Irene works 2-dimensionally both in watercolour and in fibre.

Wendi’s new exhibition celebrates her deep love for fauna – and nature in general – portraying intimate connections with all lifeforms she encounters. Her art seeks to inspire hope and joy while exploring the intricate relationship between humans and the environment. By sharing personal experiences, like nurturing a childhood love for intelligent birds like Magpies, Wendi’s work reflects themes of interconnectedness and reverence for the natural world.

Our first exhibition for the year celebrates the unique and dynamic tapa (bark cloth) art movement of the Ömie people of Papua New Guinea. Each piece is painted on the base tapa in many different coloured organic dyes made from leaves, seeds, bark, roots, sap and fruit, that are mixed with water and/or ash. They are iconographic and diverse, enlivening and transformative – simply exquisite.
