‘From Gunnedah to Gara Gorge’ is a landscape exhibition with fellow artists Anna Henderson and David Manks. It opens on 13 June 2025 at the New England Regional Museum (NERAM) in Armidale.

Maree comes from Gunnedah and lives on a farming property just south of the village of Curlewis. From her studio at the family farm overlooking the Namoi and Mooki floodplains, she paints what she knows and loves best – the landscapes of north-western NSW.

With tertiary qualifications in both environmental science and fine arts, Maree’s work is deeply influenced by her observation, understanding, and connection to the natural environment.

Her latest series of work responds to the landscapes to be found on the property where she lives. The property’s name originates from the Gamilaraay language, specifically Biya Walaay, which translates to ‘nest of the Whistling Kite’.  It features a unique landscape situated on the western end of Long Mountain, a series of rocky outcrops and cliffs that overlook the surrounding plains.
