Sally Stokes and Leah Thiessen come together for ‘ESSENCE’, an exhibition of paintings portraying the intrinsic qualities of the land – ruminations of the artists’ own deep connections to it. Lavished in rich, vibrant colour, the spirited attributes, rawness and beauty of Australian landscapes unfold. These painterly gestures reveal the artists’ personal musings and perception of their surroundings. ‘I have a deep affinity for the land, it’s a place for immersion, to experience and be absorbed,’ says Thiessen.
