Thought Provoking Exhibition

This exhibition is for all art lovers, those who treasure the Tasmanian landscape and have an interest in printmaking.

This exhibition will take you on a walk through Tasmania seen through the eyes of the artists reflecting their interests, the wonder that is inspired by the landscape and marvel at the translation from seeing something to creating an impression in print.

People of all ages will enjoy this exhibition and find something that sparks their imagination and inspires them to walk in the landscape with fresh eyes.

Celebrating the Artists

The exhibition features the work of artists Julie Irvin, Rosa MacManemy, Gaynor Peaty, Elizabeth Royce, Jacqueline Senior and Justine Vaughan.

They each draw on nature whether it be patterns found in flora or depicting the many hues and colours of the landscape, this group of printmakers are joined by a mutual love of the landscape and the processes of printmaking.

Be Inspired by Diversity

Come and visit this exhibition and see the diversity of printmaking as a medium, whether it the graphic and patterned depictions from a linecut, or the soft moody colour fields of a collagraph, to the fine line work of a dry-point etching, you will enjoy each artist’s distinct approach to the art of printmaking.
