We have been experimenting with a new pastel palette created with locally found and processed earth pigments and dry pigment tints. This year’s collection features artworks relating to the theme Masters of Country: An artistic celebration of Queensland First Peoples’ knowledge and resourcefulness of indigenous plants and trees.
