FOUND

Rebecca Rath

June 7 2025 — October 19 2025

For Hunter Valley artist Rebecca Rath, establishing human connection with the natural world is the premise of her practice and the impetus for this body of work.

Found, in both a literal and metaphorical sense, applies to the act of painting en-plein-air, of finding or discovering unique and interesting environments, light and texture, along with the ongoing journey of uncovering meaning and self.

In this series of paintings Rath brings to life her surrounds, seeking to find new ways of seeing what is in her own ‘backyard’.
