The South West region becomes abuzz with all thing's art during the month of SEPTEMBER and at the Studio Gallery it is no different. We will be hosting three Artists in Residence at different dates. Come to visit the gallery, meet the artists and see them work on their current artworks. 

Mary-Lynne’s paintings are interpretations of the landscapes of WA, NT and Central Australia that create an emotive connection for many a viewer.  She spends time travelling and painting plein air in gouache in remote areas absorbing and connecting deeply with our ancient landscape made up of molten rock formations evolved over millions of years. 

Sunday 8th  - Monday 9th 

“I’m open to the possibilities of what the work can become, never quite knowing what the outcome will be, I allow the painting to evolve slowly drawing on the memory of the emotional experience felt in a particular place.  I always challenge myself to look at the landscape in a new way so layering and lyricism as well as uncertainty are very much a part of the way my work evolves allowing for surprise juxtapositions of colours and form to create a dance for the eye to travel around and through the painting” - Mary-Lynne Stratton
