This exhibition represents a selection of art work both spanning a decade of Braidwood based artist John R.Walker’s sensitive response the harshness of the Australian landscape.

John Walker has made a unique contribution to Landscape painting in Australia. As part of that journey, his works on paper have made a major contribution to his body of work.

Walker places equal value on both his works on paper and on canvas. From his earliest exhibitions drawings and gouaches have been a major component. Every subject Walker has explored is covered by a signifiant body of work on paper and the National Gallery of Australia has the most significant holding.

This exhibition seeks to document the past decade and the significant contribution Walker has made to documenting the landscape, especially the Braidwood district which he now calls home.
