An artist’s visual chronicle of, and homage to, an interconnected nature; Sue Smalkowski’s abstracted landscapes are a personal response to the varying Australian topographical terrains. Her paintings encourage viewers to partake in intimate communication with forms of nature that are ever-changing and ever-communicative – desert sagebrush clustered by red rock; the lightness of elevation and melting snow during a warm winter in Kosciuszko; afternoon shadows cast in the bushland of the Wodi Wodi Track; and the soft light of daybreak evoking quietness and solitude in central Australia’s Kings Canyon.
