Maree is a landscape painter from Gunnedah in north-western NSW. She lives on a farming property south of Gunnedah near the village of Curlewis. She works from her studio at the family farm on a rocky hillside at the end of Long Mountain with a panoramic view of the plains.

Maree holds tertiary qualifications in environmental science and art, and draws on her knowledge and experience in both fields to create artworks that reflect her passion for the environment and her deep connection to and understanding of the landscape.

For over 25 years, Maree has painted and exhibited her work in many solo and group shows. She has received several local and regional art awards and has been a finalist in national art prizes such as the Paddington Art Prize, Muswellbrook Art Prize, Cromwell’s Art Prize, Norvill Art Prize and the Country Energy Landscape Prize.

Beyond her personal arts practice, Maree enjoys fostering creativity in others.  She has worked as an arts educator, teaching visual arts subjects at the New England Institute of TAFE and the Northern Inland Community College and facilitating workshops with various community organisations.  As a volunteer, she has dedicated her time and expertise to several community groups over the years and enjoys supporting local arts.
