Along the Shore and Under the Trees – Leah Thiessen
Details
Regional artist Leah Thiessen is constantly aware of nature’s pull as her senses attune to the natural world around her. Her studio is nestled amongst the bush and estuary of the Northern Rivers, with the ever-changing surrounds becoming the catalyst for her practice. Working in oil, she keys into the emotional gravity of place and emotional response of living by the water’s edge. Along the Shore and Under the Trees presents Theissen’s ongoing pursuit to capture the memory, pulse and rawness of place through a series of new paintings.
Exhibition on display 14 November 2025 – 8 February 2026
