Opening Event Sunday 13 September from 2pm
What happens when two friends from the same painting group pack their brushes and head in opposite directions? You get Oceans Apart, a collection of contemporary oil paintings capturing the recent wanderlust of artists Melissa and Susannah.
Instead of their usual studio landscape, the duo decided to let the globe inspire their latest work, resulting in two distinct yet beautifully complementary collections.
Melissa travelled to Morocco. Her work evokes the rich, warm palette of North Africa, capturing everything from the bustling energy of ancient Medinas to the serene, shifting sands of the Sahara.
Susannah immersed herself in the majestic scale of California’s national parks and the wild and historic landscape of the UK, capturing ancient giants and mystical water holes, monoliths and back to Australia to explore its rugged coastlines.
Separated by oceans but united by their shared passion for painting, Melissa and Susannah bring their travel diaries to life. Oceans Apart is an elegant, engaging celebration of friendship, fresh perspectives, and the beauty of exploring the world.
