LOCAL ARTIST TO RELEASE PAINTINGS INSPIRED BY THE HUNTER VALLEY
Local Pokolbin artist, Rebecca Rath, will release a series of paintings and works on paper inspired by our beautiful Hunter Valley. Each artwork reflects on the changing Hunter landscape, with a focus on Pokolbin, Lambs Valley, Broke, Fordwich, Elderslie and Vacy.
Bringing together a body of work which was created during the last warm months of Summer. They reflect the harsh yet beautifully serene and tranquil aspects of the valley – soft light, evening shadows, warm evenings
“I delight in the challenge of capturing her wildness and beauty. Putting brush to canvas to explain her emotional side. My intuitive brush marks are on occasion rough and wild. Energetic, free and vibrant. She isn’t a landscape to romanticize.”
Rebecca Rath is a Hunter Valley based artist with over 20 years of experience making, teaching and sharing her passion of art. She is known for her colourful and energetic landscape paintings and has exhibited widely both in Australia and overseas. She lives with her family on a small vineyard in picturesque Pokolbin.
