Women of the Tweed - opens Sat 6th May (drinks 2pm to 4pm)
'Women of the Tweed' is an important exhibition highlighting the diverse range of female artists in the Tweed region.
Whilst females have been under-represented in the art world, lagging behind their male counterparts, Mist Gallery has always supported the female creatives and has brought together an outstanding group of women artists with a diverse and rich background of art making.
'Women of the Tweed' shines a light on female artists who live and work in the Tweed Region. Artists from a range of backgrounds, artistic practice and career levels. It highlights the talent, the dedication and the importance of these artists and their art in shaping the creative and cultural landscape of the region.
Whilst some artists have a very strong environmental focus, with messages of conservation and sustainability, some explore their familial connections within time and place. There is a collective energy in the region.
We hope you enjoy this exhibition and join us in the opening drinks on Saturday 6th May from 2pm to 4pm.

Recently, when walking through one of the local sub-tropical rainforests, I went looking for an Albert’s lyrebird, which is endemic to a small area on the state border between New South Wales and Queensland. The rarer of the two species of lyrebirds, Albert’s lyrebird is named after Prince Albert. It lacks the elegant lyre-shaped tail feathers of the superb lyrebird but is found in a much more restricted range. It has one of the smallest distributional ranges of any bird on our continent.
Unfortunately, I did not spot one, but I have painted my interpretation of the bird in my painting. I hope you can feel the majesty of the forest and feel the cool spray of the cascade on your face.

Couchy Creek Nature Reserve lies approximately 14 kms west of Murwillumbah, Northern NSW, and lies within the traditional country of the Minjungbal people. The land, water, plants and animals within this type of landscape are central to Aboriginal spirituality and contribute to Aboriginal identity.
I have been influenced very much by many walks in this area, as it is not far from my home. Early mornings are especially beautiful. Also, after rain, Couchy Creek runs wildly and creates small cascades and waterfalls. This is what inspired this painting.

I love painting epiphytes! I have thrown as many as I could into this painting. I love their colours,their variety and their beauty and the fact that they live on air. I love to walk in a rainforest and see how many are flourishing.

Ancestral patterns are a body of work exploring familial connections in time and place. Like many Australians, my ancestors came from overseas, mostly from Ireland and Scotland. With an ancestor detective in the family, we have been learning about the trials, tribulations, and successes of our forebearers. This has created a complex web of blood lineages, patterns that can be hidden just below the surface. These works honour the blessings and gifts that have been passed down and those vibrant ancestors who, I believe, are still supporting us.

Gabriela’s work is influenced by the idea :
“All the different ancestors are still inside us and don’t really die.”
Gabriela believes the last frontier is an inner place of deep past and deep time where she can ‘draw’ on the
most ancient information to create revelatory work that incorporates her interests in anthropology, geology,
archaeology and her search for the stories that reveal our connections to one another and nature.
