Among The Trees - an exhibition by Lauren Guymer

Among The Trees is a collection of new watercolour paintings inspired by Lauren Guymer’s encounters in the Australian landscape. Formed by her deep appreciation and connection to nature, these works are a visual representation of her experiences and the places she visits. Located just beyond her backyard on the Mornington Peninsula, they explore the surrounding native bushland and beyond.

Spending endless hours observing and traversing among the trees, she intuitively explores the beauty, freedom, and refuge that nature provides. Using immense layers of detail, colour, and light, Guymer builds her peaceful places from memory. Embracing the fluidity and immediacy of watercolour, she paints large gestural movements across the paper before meticulously placing each mark into the landscape one brushstroke at a time.

Please join the artist on Sat 13 March from 2-4pm to celebrate, all are welcome. The exhibition is on from 6 March - 23 April with free entry.
