The first artist to exhibit is Rosa Purbrick, a well-known figure in the area for both her art and her family’s connection to the historic Tahbilk Winery. Her exhibition will be accessible from Friday, December 6.
Ms Purbrick describes her work as an exploration of the world around her, capturing the natural wonders and vivid colours she encounters both here in the Nagambie Lakes region and while travelling the Australian outback.
Her artistic journey began in early childhood, scratching patterns in the red earth of Koorlong in the Mallee near Mildura. She later studied graphic design in the late 1970s, returning to study art again in 2010.
Strathbogie Shire Mayor Claire Ewart-Kennedy said Ms Purbrick’s work revealed her joy in playing with patterns and colours, as well as her keen observations of nature and a profound sense of calm.

“The contours and formations of Rosa’s landscape work reflects the Strathbogie region, along with the interplay of light and shade through the trees and is integral to this collection she calls Reflections,” Cr Ewart-Kennedy said.
“This artist has exhibited internationally and she has works in many private collections, so we are delighted to be able to see this work out of her studio.”
The exhibition opens on Friday, December 6, and will be on display at ARTBOX until Thursday, January 2. If you wish to meet with Ms Purbrick, she will officially open the exhibition between 10am and 2pm on Saturday, December 7.
Following this exhibition, two other artists will showcase their work throughout the summer months.
