You’re Invited to attend the Poatina Tree Gallery Impressions Exhibition
Artists Justine Vaughan, Gaynor Peaty, Rosa MacManemy, Jacqueline Senior, Julie Irvin and Elizabeth Royce are the Newfields Printmakers and invite you to their “Impressions” exhibition.

The Exhibition Details
Newfields Printmakers are a group of six artists who work in different print methods, using techniques such as linocut, collagraph and drypoint etching to create their imagery.
Their unique approaches make for an eclectic mix of artworks; however they are united in their passion for the Tasmanian landscape, which becomes a common thread through this new body of work presented at Poatina Tree Gallery.
Where: Poatina Village Green, East Wing, Shop 1, Poatina Tas 7302
When: 29th August to 5th October 2025.
You’re invited to the Opening
The opening is being held on 31 August 2025 and 2pm.
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.
