Julia Griffin and Gemma King are Walcha artists and mother and daughter. They are both printmakers and drawn to the sublime beauty of ink on paper.

Gemma King experiments with multiple layering of colour to make unique reduction and jigsaw linocut prints of the transient nature of the landscape and big skies of Walcha. Julia Griffin is also a studio painter but more recently has taken to plein air works on paper using oil pastels, remembering the immediacy of the first response when time is limited, and the light is volatile.

Opening Event: Friday 8 December, opened by Stephen King, 6 – 8pm.
