Ms Primrose finds inspiration in the direct linking of immediate locations. She makes a painting or drawing and transports the real environment into an artistic space, evocative of its original.
Visions of Pleasure 11 is also opening, which celebrates a collaborative work from people at the House With No Steps.
The Southern Highlands Print Makers Continuum is opening as well.
This is an exhibition of contemporary prints responding to artists from previous generations who have had connections with the Southern Tablelands.
The 25 print makers each chose a different artist as the starting point for their work.
Choices ranged from the possum skin cloaks crafted by the original aboriginal inhabitants of the area, to colonial artists such as Joseph Lycett, to some of the greats of Australian art –Lloyd Rees, Arthur Boyd, Fred Williams and Brett Whiteley.
Photographers such as Frank Hurley, ceramic artist Gwen Hanson-Piggot, sculptors Tom Bass and Bert Flugelman and assemblage artist Rosalie Gascoigne are also included among the subjects
The resulting prints brought together in this exhibition are as wide-ranging and diverse as the work of the artists who inspired them.
