Where We Live
24 Sept – 22 Oct 2019
Art at St Francis
326 Lonsdale St Melbourne
9am-5pm Mon-Fri 9am-3pm
I am thrilled to be a to be exhibiting in Melbourne. ‘Where We Live’ is an exhibition of a selection of linocut prints and etchings that celebrates the landscape I live in with a focus on architecture. The starting point begins from my home in King Valley where the central building of a farm cottage sits in a layered landscape with iconic shaped trees and buildings including the distinctive tobacco kilns silhouetted in the distance and far-off mountains in the background.
The exhibition is at ART AT ST FRANCIS 326 Lonsdale St Melbourne from Tuesday 24th September till Monday 21st October
The gallery space is open Monday to Friday 9am -5pm and Sunday 9am -3pm
From country to city I find ‘where we live’ to be an inspiring subject matter where I can explore shape, texture, space and contrast in linocuts or the line, texture and pattern in an etching.
Printed in our King Valley Studio by my husband, Master Printmaker Bill Young, who has also handcrafted the frames from upcycled Kauri Pine floorboards.

Middle Ground
5 April – 6 May at Off Centre Gallery + Studio
VIC ( Milawa Cheese Factory Complex)
This summer I have been inspired by the intense colours of the pink, mauve and purple crepe myrtles that line the streets and grace the front yards of homes in Wangaratta. The dry summer makes me notice that the colours and the patterns of harvest still abound in the landscape against the intense green of the ripening grape vines. I have been painting on canvas this summer, exploring all these elements in my local landscape and other places that are near and dear to me. You will be able to see this new work in an exhibition titled Middle Ground.
To be opened on Saturday 6 April 3pm by Simone Nolan, Gallery Director Wangaratta Art Gallery
Layer of Settlement
