Mountain - A Group Exhibition

Mountains shape the Tasmanian landscape. Rising from mist and shadow, they stand as markers of deep time, sites of story, endurance, and awe. From the jagged dolerite cliffs of kunanyi to the weather-worn ranges of the west, these peaks hold layers of meaning—geological, ecological, and historical.

This group exhibition brings together artists working across diverse mediums to respond to the mountains of Tasmania. Through painting, photography, printmaking and drawing, each artist offers an individual encounter with these forms: as places of belonging, as symbols of resilience, as fragile environments under threat. It celebrates the mountains that define our unique landscape and experience in Tasmania.

Georgina Richmond has been painting in oils since she was 14. Coming from an artistic family, she was always encouraged to create art. In 1986 she gained a B.A Hons in Fine Art at the Gloucester College of the Arts in the U.K. She arrived in Tasmania in 1987 and quickly fell in love with the wild and raw beauty of the Island. She has had numerous solo shows and has been a finalist for the John Glover Art prize twice. This exhibition is a showcase of her love of Tasmania's Wilderness.
