‘From Gunnedah to Gara Gorge’ is a landscape exhibition with fellow artists Anna Henderson and David Manks. It opens on Friday, 13 June 2025 at the New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM) in Armidale and continues until Sunday, 20 July.
This exhibition brings together three regional artists—Anna Henderson, Maree Kelly and David Manks—who explore the diverse and striking landscapes of northern New South Wales through deeply personal and place-based practices.
Traversing the vast Mooki and Namoi floodplains near Gunnedah, the granite country of Uralla and Armidale, and the dramatic escarpments of the New England gorges, each artist offers a unique response to land, light, and memory. Together, these works offer more than depictions of scenery—they reflect on how we see, remember, and connect with the land. From Gunnedah to Gara Gorge is a contemplative journey through Country, rich with personal insight and artistic exploration.
