Stepping off the path to sit under a canopy of bushland and banksias, Pam Walpole and Adrienne Williams have collaborated on an exhibition of paintings featuring one of their favourite areas – the Noosa National Park and surrounds.
Both artists share a love of being outside and a delight for the peace and the drama of wild places. It has been the cornerstone for their art practices across the past 30 years.
Pam and Adrienne both paint their contemporary stories of nature in very different ways yet through a similar process of immersion and study.
“Pam and I met about 35 years ago and have circled back into each other’s lives. As artists who work outdoors, we often step off the path together to get a different viewpoint, so to do that alongside another artist opens the viewpoint even further,” Adrienne Williams said.
“My pieces are a celebration of coming back to the banksia as a form and returning to painting after a hiatus.”
This new joint exhibition showcases Adrienne’s colourist oil paintings on board and canvas, alongside Pam’s minimalist mixed media works on canvas and paper, as well as a small collection of collaborative works on both unstretched canvas and paper.
