Sky, Earth, Water brings together the work of Rosalie Gascoigne with significant new commissions by First Nations artists Lorraine Connelly-Northey, Janet Fieldhouse and Glenda Nicholls, creating a powerful dialogue across generations and perspectives.

Gascoigne’s evocative works draw on the vast skies, waterways and wheat fields of the Monaro region, transforming found industrial materials into luminous reflections of the Australian landscape. From intimate studies to some of her most iconic pieces, the exhibition highlights the evolution of her distinctive practice.

Responding to Bundanon’s natural environment and their own homelands, the commissioned works by Connelly-Northey, Fieldhouse and Nicholls bring deep cultural knowledge and contemporary site-responsive practice into conversation with Gascoigne’s vision. Featuring more than 20 key loans from major Australian institutions and private collections, this exhibition celebrates landscape, memory and material as enduring forces in artistic expression.

Discover Sky, Earth, Water at Bundanon from 7th March 2026 to 14th June 2026.

The Garden Berry welcomes the return of Helen Pain Art with her beautiful new exhibition, ‘Impressions – Encounters with Nature’.

This vibrant collection of landscapes, seascapes and floral studies explores Helen’s deep fascination with the beauty, colour and ever-changing light of the natural world. Rich in texture and layered with expression, each work invites viewers to pause, reflect and reconnect with nature in a personal and meaningful way.

Painting intuitively from memory, Helen captures the essence and emotion of a place rather than simply reproducing it, resulting in works that feel both joyful and evocative.

The exhibition is now on display throughout The Garden Berry’s dining spaces until Wednesday 24th June, with all artworks available for purchase.

Visitors are invited to dine, unwind and experience the exhibition daily from 8am – 3pm.
