What's On

"My first solo exhibition was dominated by works of Katoomba and the Jaimeson valley which I understand is one of the largest canyons in the world, I had camped a number of times with artist Cameron Sparks.
In 1985 I was honoured to have walked around my first exhibition at The Painter’s Gallery, East Sydney with Lloyd Rees who came to the opening, he commented that he particularly liked the works of the Blue mountains and said that I should continue my work up there.
That was certainly an affirmation of my interest in the mountains as subject matter.
Spectacular precipitous cliffs, clouded valleys and vast distances, a wonderful opportunity to explore the equally vast range of colours, tones and rich textures on display and to the fascinating interplay of space all to be discovered more deeply in continuing visits.

High country is an attraction for many, especially in encountering snow, the first time is magical." ~ Daniel Pata 2025
