A Tribute to Banjo Paterson
28 March - 19 AprilThis Exhibition is a subject very close to my heart, with the convergence of my artwork and the wonderful poems of Banjo Paterson, I hope to give you an insight into the hardships of the men and their horses in the early pioneering days of Outback Australia.
It is very easy to forget what these men went through when we sit in our complacency sipping wine next to the swimming pool, but if it was not for the courage and tenacity of these early pioneers WE may not be quite so fortunate. As I usually exhibit my sculptures, paintings of Australia is a very new venture for me, and hopefully I have captured the spirit of Banjo Patersons poems.
This has been an exciting challenge to get 20 paintings together for this exhibition, I had no problem with getting inspiration, the empathy and insight that Paterson reveals in his portrayal of these wonderful characters that have become a household name will stay with me forever.
The Man from Snowy River
Clancy of the Overflow
Waltzing Matilda
The Road to Gundigai
With the Cattle
Saltbrush Bill
I can go on. This is our heritage, lest we forget.
