Step into the wild, dramatic beauty of the Australian bush in this immersive art exhibition by Tilly Myers.

Through large-scale acrylic based works, rich with finer detail, the familiar becomes eccentric and the abstract draws you deep into landscapes both vivid and mysterious.

This exhibition is for the young and young at heart – anyone who has paused to examine a zigzagged banksia leaf along a sandy beach path or felt the awe of a red waratah blooming against a bushfire blackened backdrop.

Each piece invites you to slow down, look closer and experience the extraordinary in the everyday.

“If you feel a sense of wonder and intrigue, as if you’ve fallen into a botanical wonderland, then my art is doing its job.”

All artworks will be for sale. A percentage of all sales goes towards supporting the work of the National Trust (NSW).
