An invitation to explore Crows Nest’s natural surroundings is partly the inspiration behind Samantha Nolan’s exhibition, Rewilding, which is on display at Crows Nest Gallery from October 19 to November 13, 2022.
Samantha, who has been painting in the Toowoomba Region for 20 years, paints predominantly in oils and acrylics.
Artworks in Rewilding depict her relationship with the natural environment and her sense of the natural world’s vibrancy and magic.
The paintings have been inspired by visits to the Crows Nest National Park, Fraser Island and family bush walks in the surrounding district.
Rewilding features a series of mixed media paintings that represent a longing for reconnecting with nature and a desire to be lost or immersed in a world beyond the contemporary built or digital realms.
