Colours of the Country Exhibition Opening

A new exhibition, celebrating the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains, opens this spring at the Everglades Gardens. On the brink of the local government election, this exhibition of paintings by Owen Thompson and Corinne Loxton is a timely reminder to reflect on our deep connection and responsibility to the land and the planet we inhabit.

Both artists are avid bushwalkers, immersing themselves in nature at a pace that enables them to look and feel deeply. The work in this exhibition mirrors their shifting gaze, from the colours of strips of bark to the sweep of cirrus clouds and rocky cliffs. With sensitivity and passion, the paintings pay homage to the frequently overlooked, nevertheless remarkable, natural features of the Blue Mountains and surrounding areas.

Everglades Gardens entry fees are waived for the exhibition opening on Saturday 7th September, 1 – 3 pm.
