HABITAT - Opens 8th September
HABITAT is an impressive exhibition highlighting the talents of our artists. From deep in the forest to coastal walks, these new works are thought provoking and reflective of the fragility of the natural habitats for our wildlife. Recent disasters have inspired many of the artists to explore the impacts of bushfires and floods, whilst other artists have focused on the wildlife, highlighting that without their natural habitats, these animals would become scarce.
Incredible works on paper, collage and mixed media on panels. oil and acrylic works, glass works and ceramics, make up this exhibition that also marks the 2nd birthday for Mist Gallery. A feat in itself, as we have also just endured nearly three years of incredible disrupt to life as we know it.
We shine a spotlight on JOHN CORBY this month, a local artist from Pottsville. John is a prolific and popular artist in the gallery that captures the daily life of the Tweed Region. Sparkling oceans, shaded dune walks, and families enjoying the local environment. John's take on HABITAT is more about our daily connection with nature.

Description
I am working on a series called ‘Sanctuary Trees’, where I am drawing those gnarly, grand and very aged trees that support many of our riverbanks. I spotted this Black Bean kayaking upstream. I have come to know some of these trees well, each with its own unique structures and beauty. This Black Bean struck me deeply, with its powerful female forms and the powerful and complicated strength of the root system, which so steadfastly holds and filters the riverbank. The shade from its branches provide shade for me under the hot sun and cool the river for life below. Bright yellow and red flowers grow along the stem, and the very large seed pods (often up to 25cm x 5cm) often bob along the river finding the next location to seed and germinate.

There is nothing quite like the sound of a bird call. We have so many amazing birds in Australia. All seem to have their own personality, some elegant, some cheeky, playful and dominating. These works are rejoicing in their personalities and characteristics.
These works are the first works I have produced with a wooden layered effect, I have also etched into the wood to give a more tactile experience with the surface. I hope you like my furry friends!

Beauty is everywhere, nowhere more so than the stunning Northern Rivers. However, whilst some subjects simply cry out to be painted, others sit quietly in the background, waiting patiently to be SEEN. The most challenging task confronting an artist is to identify nature’s subtle beauty and somehow do it justice through the medium of paint. When I consider a subject, I focus on what I am feeling, what excites me. Conveying that emotion through paint is my ultimate goal. To achieve this, I am constantly examining the way I apply paint, the interplay of colours and how I can strengthen composition. My habitat is the Tweed Shire and I feel blessed to share her beauty.
