hauntingly beautiful series of paintings that evoke the harshness and
beauty of the Australian Outback. This exhibition illustrates an

contradictions of our country from its rugged textures and intense
colours, to its perpetual horizons and wandering livestock. With a
diversity of artistic technique including oils, acrylic and natural

spiritual collection from the diverse works of four contemporary
landscape artists.
